A 19-year-old hemophiliac with behavioral problems has intentionally cut his right wrist. Assessment indicates an open airway, adequate breathing, and profound bleeding from the self-inflicted laceration. What instructions would you provide to other EMTs taking care of this patient?

A) "Let's use normal bleeding-control procedures and see how that works."
B) "Let's elevate his arm and place a tourniquet distal to the cut."
C) "Since control is virtually impossible, we need to transport immediately."
D) "We need to quickly apply a tourniquet directly above the cut."
