Question
if a closed wound is not severe, you can use direct pressure to decrease bleeding associated with the wound.
true
false
Closed wounds are injuries where the skin is not broken. Direct pressure is typically used for open wounds (where the skin is broken) to control bleeding. For closed wounds (like bruises, sprains etc. which are not severe), rest, ice, compression (but not direct pressure in the sense of applying pressure to a bleeding site as in open wounds), and elevation (RICE) are more appropriate first - aid measures.
