Question
which of these is an appropriate treatment for a deep, bleeding wound?
a. remove any embedded object.
b. elevate the wound.
c. walk the person around.
d. apply a tourniquet.
For a deep, bleeding wound, removing an embedded object can cause more bleeding, walking the person around is dangerous as it may increase blood - loss, and elevating the wound alone may not stop severe bleeding. Applying a tourniquet can stop the blood flow to the affected area and is an appropriate measure for severe, deep - bleeding wounds when other methods are not sufficient.
