You apply direct pressure, perform elevation, and bandage a large dressing in place. During your reassessment you notice that the dressing and bandaging material have become saturated with blood. Which of the following should you do next?
◦ Remove the pressure dressing and bandage, apply an ice pack to the wound, and bandage it in place with an elastic bandage.
