🔍 Key Concepts

• Direct pressure and elevation as the primary methods to control bleeding • Risks of using a tourniquet, such as potential damage to tissue and nerves • Life-threatening or uncontrollable bleeding situations where stronger measures are considered

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In first aid, what methods are normally tried before applying a tourniquet? • Consider: Is a tourniquet appropriate for small, easily controlled wounds or for severe bleeding that cannot be stopped by simpler methods? • Think about why tourniquets are not used routinely—what must be true about the bleeding for a rescuer to decide to apply one?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option mentions using a tourniquet only after other methods fail to control bleeding. • Eliminate any choice that suggests using a tourniquet for minor or easily controlled wounds. • Check that the chosen option aligns with the idea that a tourniquet is a last resort due to its potential complications.
