Final answer:
The appropriate treatment for a deep, bleeding wound is to have the person lie down, potentially apply pressure, but not remove any embedded objects or use a tourniquet unless absolutely necessary. Wound healing involves clotting followed by inflammation. Bleeding indicates a cut through the epidermis and possibly the dermis.
Step-by-step explanation:
For an appropriate treatment of a deep, bleeding wound, the correct response is to have the person lie down, and if necessary, apply pressure to the wound. Removing any embedded object could cause more damage or increase bleeding, so that is typically not advised without medical training. Walking the person around is inappropriate as it can increase blood flow and lead to fainting. A tourniquet is a last resort measure that should only be used if the bleeding is life-threatening and cannot be stopped with direct pressure.
After a skin injury, the next response in the wound-healing process following the formation of a blood clot is the inflammatory phase, where the body sends white blood cells to the injury site to fight infection and clean up debris.
If someone cuts into their skin and bleeds, it means they have cut through at least the epidermis and possibly into the deeper dermis layer, where blood vessels reside.
