To control bleeding, the appropriate responses include:

  1. Cover the wound with sterile gauze.
  2. Remove blood-soaked gauze and replace it with clean gauze. (if the gauze becomes soaked, it’s important to add more pressure, but you should not remove the gauze if it is stuck to the wound)
  3. Hold the wounded body part below the level of the heart. (this can help reduce blood flow to the area)
  4. Apply steady pressure.

So, all the options provided can be considered relevant steps to take in controlling bleeding, but always remember to apply steady pressure and avoid removing any gauze that is stuck to a wound unless necessary.
