<u />

Risk the nurse is trying to prevent is bleeding.

What is bleeding?

Blood loss from the circulatory system is referred to as bleeding. Small cuts and abrasions to severe cuts and amputations are examples of possible causes. Body injuries can also cause internal bleeding, which can range in severity from modest (visible as superficial bruising) to significant hemorrhage.

In order to stop serious external or internal bleeding while waiting for emergency medical assistance, first aid is essential. Applying direct pressure to the wound, maintaining the pressure using pads and bandages, and, if feasible, lifting the damaged limb above the level of the heart are all first aid measures to manage external bleeding.
