Ignoring the pencil can lead to complications and potential infection.

Explanation

In this scenario, applying direct pressure without dressing is the correct course of action to control the bleeding. The objective is to apply pressure directly to the wound to help stop the bleeding. Applying a tourniquet above the wound, inserting gauze into the wound, or elevating the victim's legs are not recommended as they may worsen the situation or be ineffective in controlling the bleeding.

Explanation

Submit
9. What is the best method for determining if rescue breathing is being given properly?
