To effectively perform first aid for a nosebleed, you can follow these steps in the correct sequence:
1. **Stay Calm**: Reassure the individual to help keep them calm.
2. **Sit the Person Up**: Have the person sit upright to reduce blood pressure in the veins of the nose.
3. **Tilt the Head Forward**: Instruct the individual to lean forward slightly to prevent swallowing blood.
4. **Pinch the Nose**: Using the thumb and index finger, pinch the soft part of the nose and hold it for 5 to 10 minutes.
5. **Apply a Cold Compress**: If available, apply a cold pack to the nose or back of the neck to constrict blood vessels.
6. **Do Not Blow the Nose**: Advise the person not to blow their nose for several hours after the bleeding has stopped.
7. **Seek Medical Attention if Necessary**: If the bleeding doesn’t stop after 20 minutes or if it is a severe nosebleed, seek medical help.
