Question

You should elevate his leg to help control the bleeding. However, it is important to keep him lying on his right side to prevent potential injury and movement of the injured leg. Turning him to the supine position may cause further bleeding and shock, while elevating his head in a Fowler's position may also increase bleeding from the leg. Leaving him as you found him without addressing the bleeding can lead to further complications.
