Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Direct pressure stops 90% of all bleeding. If direct pressure does not work in the first minuet or two digital pressure points, compress the artery proximal to the bleeding, elevation and finally a tourniquet if not controlled or excessive bleeding. Pressure dressings should only be used once bleeding has stopped.
