Answer 1

To stop a wound from bleeding, you should:

A raise the wounded body part above the level of the heart.

This action helps reduce blood flow to the area, which can assist in controlling the bleeding.

It's also important to apply direct pressure to the wound and to use clean gauze pads, not to remove soaked ones. Washing the wound thoroughly should be done after the bleeding has been controlled, and checking the wound frequently can be useful, but it shouldn't be prioritized over applying pressure to stop the bleeding.
