You have responded as a first aid provider to a coworker who has accidentally cut himself on his forearm. He is responsive and safe to approach. He has his hand clamped down on the wound, but there is a pool of blood on the floor and blood is still dripping from beneath his hand. What approach will you take to control bleeding

Put the cut portion in vertical upward position and cover it with clean tissue or cloth.

Explanation:

At first to minimize the bleeding from wrist we need to raise the wrist up and then apply pressure by clean tissue or cloth. Wrap the tissue/clothe around the wrist. If blood is soaking through the material wrapped, don't remove the wrap but pot more tissues/cloths around the wrap and continue to apply the pressure. The hand should be kept raised at a level more than the level of heart of that injured person. Due to continuous pressure of the wrapping material the bleeding will stop in around 5-8 minutes.
