A friend had a bloody nose and you are going to help clean up the mess. What should you do FIRST?
A
Ask him if he is HIV positive or has AIDS
B
spray the area with lysol
C
put on gloves
D
wash your hands
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pinch the nose. Keep pinching for 10 to 15 minutes. Pinching puts pressure on the blood vessels and helps stop the blood flow. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, pinch the nose again for up to 15 minutes. Don’t let go for at least five minutes even to check if the bleeding has stopped.

Detailed explanation-2: -Follow these steps to stop a nosebleed: Sit up straight and tip your head slightly forward. Note: Do not tilt your head back. This may cause blood to run down the back of your throat, and you may swallow it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Firmly pinch the entire soft part of the nose just above the nostrils. Sit and lean forward (this will ensure that blood and other secretions do not go down your throat). Breathe through your mouth. Hold this position for 5 minutes.
