Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Applying pressure to the artery above the bleeding site can help to reduce blood flow to the area and stop the hemorrhage. This technique is known as direct pressure with elevation. It is important to avoid placing pressure directly on the wound, as this can cause further damage and prolong the bleeding. Meanwhile, options A and B are not relevant in this situation as the person needs immediate intervention to stop the bleeding. Option D is not recommended as it can cause more harm by increasing blood flow to the area.
