Answer to Question 1

A
As soon as possible, elevate the extremity or area of bleeding. Elevation assists in decreasing the rate of blood loss. Start the pressure bandage from distal to proximal, working toward the heart. Secure tape on the distal end, pull tape across the dressing, and maintain firm pressure as the proximate end of the tape is secured. To ensure blood flow to distal tissues and to prevent a tourniquet effect, adhesive tape must not be continued around the entire extremity.

Answer to Question 2

B
