Correct Answer
C. LigamentExplanation
External bleeding refers to bleeding that occurs outside the body. Capillary, venous, and arterial bleeding all involve blood vessels and can result in external bleeding. However, ligaments are not involved in bleeding. Ligaments are fibrous connective tissues that connect bones to other bones and provide stability to joints. They do not contain blood vessels and therefore cannot bleed externally.Rate this question:

- A.
Bruising
- B.
Yellowing of the skin and eyes

Correct Answer
B. Yellowing of the skin and eyesExplanation
Yellowing of the skin and eyes is not a sign of internal bleeding. It is typically associated with liver problems, such as jaundice. Internal bleeding, on the other hand, is characterized by symptoms such as bruising, a painful and tender area, and vomiting or coughing up blood. Therefore, yellowing of the skin and eyes does not fit the profile of signs of internal bleeding.Rate this question:

For internal bleeding you should follow what method?
- A.
RICE
- B.
POTS
- C.
REAL
- D.
SECS
Correct Answer
A. RICEExplanation
The correct answer is RICE. RICE is an acronym that stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. This method is commonly used to treat injuries such as sprains, strains, and bruises. Resting allows the body to heal, while applying ice reduces swelling and pain. Compression helps to control bleeding and provides support to the injured area, and elevation helps to reduce swelling by keeping the injured area elevated above the heart. Therefore, following the RICE method can help manage internal bleeding by reducing swelling and promoting healing.Rate this question:

If bleeding cannot be controlled for external bleeding, pressure should be applied where?
- A.
No where
- B.
The heart
- C.
A pressure point
- D.
The neck
Correct Answer
C. A pressure pointExplanation
In cases where external bleeding cannot be controlled, applying pressure to a pressure point is recommended. A pressure point is a specific area on the body where a major artery runs close to the skin's surface and can be compressed against underlying bone to help stop bleeding. By applying pressure to a pressure point, the blood flow to the injured area can be reduced, allowing for clot formation and ultimately aiding in stopping the bleeding.Rate this question:
