If direct pressure with a sterile dressing fails to immediately stop severe bleeding from an extremity, you should apply: a. additional sterile dressings. b. a splint and elevate the extremity. c. a tourniquet proximal to the injury. d. digital pressure to a proximal artery.

C. a tourniquet proximal to the injury

Explanation:

Tourniquets are resources used when it is necessary to control bleeding from an injury where the dressing is not being sufficient. The tourniquet should be used as a last resort, ie when other types of bandages fail to stop a bleed. The tourniquet should not be placed in a joint because it would cause discomfort and movement problems in the patient. Ideally, the tourniquet should be placed close to the lesion at a distance of 5 centimeters.

i think it's the first one because doctors aren't the ones who get rid of the old needles. most of them time it's not even doctors who give you shots, it's nurses.

so i really think that most of the health care industry be doing more bad than good.
