Bleeding Control

What type of bleeding is indicated by a steady flow and dark color?

• Arterial bleeding

• Venous bleeding

• Capillary bleeding

• None of the above

How does external bleeding occur?

• When blood is lost through an internal injury

• When blood is lost through a mental condition

• When blood is lost through an opening in the body

• When blood is lost without any injury

How can the severity of external bleeding vary?

• It is always minor and easy to control

• It is always severe and difficult to control

• It can range from minor and easy to control to severe and difficult to control

• It does not vary and is always easy to control

What color is arterial bleeding typically described as?

• Dark red

• Bright red and spurting

• Dark

• No specific color

What type of bleeding is characterized by oxygen-rich blood from an artery?

• Venous bleeding

• Capillary bleeding

• Arterial bleeding

• Internal bleeding

How can arterial bleeding be visually identified?

• It is dark red and flows slowly

• It is bright red and spurts from the injury

• It is blue and oozes from the injury

• It is purple and trickles from the injury

Why is arterial bleeding the most difficult to control?

• Because of the low pressure of the blood in the arteries

• Because of the high pressure of the blood in the arteries

• Because of the slow flow of blood

• Because it contains less oxygen

What color is venous blood when it flows from a wound?

• Bright red

• Pale yellow

• Dark red

• Clear

Compared to arterial bleeding, venous bleeding is:

• Harder to control and usually life-threatening

• Easier to control and usually not life-threatening

• The same in terms of control and life threat

• Not specified

Why does venous bleeding flow steadily from the wound?

• Because veins are under much less pressure than arteries

• Because veins are under much more pressure than arteries

• Because venous blood is thinner than arterial blood

• Because venous blood is more oxygenated than arterial blood
