If a person has a painful, bleeding injury to the nose, should aspirin be given to help? Why or why not?

NO. Blood-Thinning Medications. Anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, aspirin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) used to treat pain can all cause nosebleeds. ... And if you've had a heart attack, your doctor may have recommended a daily aspirin to help prevent a recurrence.

No, you should not give aspirin to a person if the have a painful, bleeding injury to the nose. Because aspirin thins the blood and cause you to bleed that much more.
