Question

Latosha was using an electric saw and got her fingertip too close to the blade. she severed the tip and the finger bled heavily. besides stopping the bleeding, what should she do?

Answer 1

Latosha should immediately apply a dressing to her fing and apply pressure (if she bleeds thru the dressing apply another but do not remove the old one). she should have someone place the tip of her finger in a plastic bag and place the plastic bag in another bag full of ice to preserve the finger. Have the other person drive her to the ER to have it reattached
