Question

1. 2. when performing first aid for bleeding you should do the following except? (1 point) a. wear clean gloves. b. check to see if the bleeding stops every minute. c. if possible, raise the wounded body part above the level of the heart. d. cover the wound with sterile gauze or clean cloth.

Explanation:

Wearing clean gloves (a) is a standard first step to avoid infection. Raising the wounded part above heart level (c) helps reduce blood flow to the area. Covering the wound with sterile gauze/clean cloth (d) applies pressure to stop bleeding. Checking bleeding every minute (b) disrupts the pressure needed to clot, so it is not recommended.

Answer:

b. Check to see if the bleeding stops every minute.
