Correct answer
Apply firm direct pressure to the wound.
Apply firm direct pressure to the bleeding area with a dressing or clean material and use gloves if available. Covering without pressure is insufficient. Life-threatening bleeding not controlled by pressure may require a tourniquet: follow emergency-dispatcher guidance and your training. Do not delay bleeding control while waiting for help.
