Emergency Care: Falls and Poisoning

Question 19 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

Which of the following actions will assist a patient who is bleeding from a cut on her hand? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
splinting the wrist
B
elevating the hand above heart height
C
applying steady pressure until bleeding stops
D
replacing a bloody dressing with a clean one as soon as bleeding stops

Explanation

Raise the injured hand above heart level and apply steady, direct pressure to help slow and stop the bleeding. Splinting the wrist does not control bleeding from a cut. Do not remove a blood-soaked dressing; keep it in place and add another clean dressing on top if needed.
