Detailed explanation-1: -Rinse the cut or wound with water and apply pressure with sterile gauze, a bandage, or a clean cloth. If blood soaks through the bandage, put another bandage on top of the first and keep applying pressure. Raise the injured body part to slow bleeding. When bleeding stops, cover the wound with a new, clean bandage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Covering a break in the skin helps to control bleeding and protect against infection. Dressings are pads of gauze or cloth that can be placed directly against the wound to absorb blood and other fluids. Cloth bandages cover dressings and hold them in place.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wash and disinfect the wound. Apply direct pressure to wound to stop bleeding. Elevate injured area to control swelling. Wrap wound with sterile dressing or bandage.
