Question 1557 Deck Safety
70% to passOrdinarily, bleeding from a vein may be controlled by what method?
A
pouring ice water directly onto the wound
B
pinching the wound closed
C
applying direct pressure to the wound
D
heavy application of a disinfectant
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) applying direct pressure to the wound. Applying direct pressure to the wound is the standard method for controlling bleeding from a vein. This helps to stop the flow of blood by applying compression to the injured vein. The other answer choices are not the appropriate methods for controlling venous bleeding. Pouring ice water (A) or applying disinfectant (D) could actually cause further damage, and simply pinching the wound closed (B) may not provide enough pressure to effectively stop the bleeding.
