The correct answer is C. Apply direct pressure to the wound with a bandage or a towel
Step-by-step explanation
Sever external bleeding is a common condition after suffering cuts, blows, shots, among other wounds that affect the arteries, which can lead to death. To prevent this, besides contacting emergency services, a thick bandage or similar must be placed on the wound and pressure should be applied to prevent blood from being expelled from the body. Also, it should be ensured that if the expulsion is in a limb this is lifted. Besides his, compression should be used between the heart and the wound to control the flow of blood to the wound. According to the above, the best option to attend to extreme external bleeding after calling EMS (Emergency Medical Services) is to exert pressure on the wound with a bandage to prevent blood loss. So, the correct answer is C. Apply direct pressure to the wound with a bandage or a towel.
