🔍 Key Concepts

• First aid priorities for external bleeding (what do you do first, before anything else?) • Difference between direct pressure, elevation, pressure points, and tourniquets • When tourniquets and pressure points are used in modern first aid (last resort vs first step)

💭 Think About

• Think about which option is safest to use on almost any bleeding wound and can be applied quickly without special training or equipment. • Ask yourself: which method is usually reserved for very severe, life‑threatening bleeding when simpler methods are not working? • Consider which techniques are now less favored in basic first aid because they can reduce blood flow to large areas and may cause complications if used incorrectly.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is the initial, universal step recommended for most external bleeding situations. • Check which methods (pressure points, tourniquet) are typically considered backup or last‑resort steps, not the first action. • Verify which option would be fastest and simplest for a crew member with basic first aid training to perform in an emergency.
