70% to passBleeding from a vein may be ordinarily controlled by _______________.
Aheavy application of a disinfectant
Bpinching the wound closed
Capplying direct pressure to the wound
Dpouring ice water directly into the wound
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) applying direct pressure to the wound. Bleeding from a vein is typically controlled by applying direct pressure to the wound site. This helps to constrict the vein and allow the blood to clot, stopping the bleeding. This is the standard first aid procedure for venous bleeding. The other options are incorrect because: A) Applying a disinfectant could further irritate the wound. B) Pinching the wound closed may not provide enough pressure to stop the bleeding. D) Pouring ice water directly into the wound could damage the tissue and is not an appropriate first aid measure.
