Your patient has a laceration to the right leg which has intersected the femoral artery. You have applied direct pressure to the wound, but it continues to soak through the bandages. What should you do next.

  • A. Apply a tourniquet
  • B. Elevate the Leg
  • C. Remove the old bandage and apply new ones
  • D. Apply pressure to the pressure point just above the injury
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Elevating the leg above the heart can help control bleeding. IF that fails the next step would be to use a pressure point. When applying bandages you should not remove the old ones, just apply the new ones over the old ones.

Yes, that would work, but I'd say the tourniquet is more effective.
