Answer:

- First, place some gauze pads or a clean cloth on the wound and hold for 10 minutes.

- If the gauze or cloth becomes soaked with blood, without removing it, place another on top and continue pressing for another 10 minutes.

- If the blood does not stop flowing, place the wound raised upwards to avoid excessive bleeding.

While you call an Emergency Ambulance.  

Explanation:

Bleeding usually occurs from a cut or trauma that causes the blood vessels to break.

An arterial hemorrhage occurs when the outflow of blood comes from the circulatory system to the outside caused by the rupture of an artery.

Until the artery closes or the wound is cauterized, blood is likely to continue to flow until the person shows symptoms of confusion, slow heart rate, and shock that ultimately leaves the person to bleed to death.

Answer:

the appropriate tone to use in this instance would be a stern but kind and understanding tone. you don't want to be too forecul in order to avoid the patient rebelling however, you must be stern since it is a matter of life and death; the best course of action is to be entirely honest about the serious effects his habits have on his health. Based on his past actions of following the regimens prescribed by other doctors, he seems to want to lose weight and do better. The best way is to entirely avoid the point of temptation and try to keep it out of sight and out of mind. being kind is important since people react better to kindness rather than control, showing how much you care could cause the patient to want to do better.

Reaction time, speed, and power are the most important skill-related fitness components that every sprinter must excel at during the race.

Strength is defined as the ability to generate force (lifting heavy weights) speed: the ability to move quickly (sprinting) Endurance is the ability to withstand fatigue (running a marathon) Flexibility is the ability to achieve a wide range of motion at the joints (doing a split) Power is defined as the ability to exert maximum muscular contraction in an explosive burst of movements. Strength and speed are the two components of power. (For example, jumping or a sprint start) Aerobic endurance is also known as cardiovascular endurance. Marathon runners and distance cyclists need a high level of aerobic endurance to be able to work for an extended period of time during a race.
