🔍 Key Concepts

• Tourniquet purpose in first aid and when it is considered a last resort • Difference between controlling bleeding and securing or restraining a victim • What type of injury is serious enough to risk cutting off blood flow to a limb

💭 Think About

• Which option actually involves cutting off blood flow to part of the body, and why would that only be done when absolutely necessary? • Which choices describe uses that could be done better and more safely with other equipment (straps, bandages, ties) instead of a tourniquet? • Think about where on the body a tourniquet is applied and what problem it is specifically designed to address.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the option you pick is directly related to life-threatening limb bleeding rather than comfort or restraint. • Eliminate any choices that describe uses where blocking circulation would be unnecessary or unsafe. • Confirm that the chosen use fits the phrase “as a last resort”, meaning other safer methods have failed or aren’t possible.
