Answer: Use direct pressure on an artery along with elevation and direct pressure on the wound.

Explanation: Use direct pressure on an artery along with elevation and direct pressure on the wound. There are specific major arteries in the body where pressure should be placed. When you apply pressure to an artery, you stop bleeding by pushing the artery against bone.
