There has been a road traffic accident and someone is bleeding from their arm. There is nothing embedded in the wound. How should you help this person?

Explanation: The casualty should be laid down if possible, and the wound should be checked for debris. Use a clean material to apply pressure to the wound without pressing any debris into the wound. If you can, raise the arm above heart level to slow blood loss.
