Question

when should stitches be considered for a wound?
when the wound is deeper than ½ inch.
when the wound is less than 1 inch long.
when the wound is not bleeding heavily.
when the wound is healing on its own.
question 12
what is a sign of internal bleeding?
a pale or bluish tint to the skin.
continuous coughing.
rapid hair loss.
loss of feeling in the legs.

Explanation:

• For the first question: Wounds deeper than ½ inch often require stitches to ensure proper healing and closure. Wounds less than 1 inch long may not always need stitches. If a wound is not bleeding heavily or healing on its own, stitches are usually not necessary.
• For the second question: Internal bleeding can cause a pale or bluish tint to the skin due to reduced oxygen - carrying capacity of the blood (from blood loss). Continuous coughing is more related to respiratory issues, rapid hair loss has various non - bleeding related causes (like hormonal changes, certain medications), and loss of feeling in the legs is more associated with nerve or spinal issues rather than a direct sign of internal bleeding.

Answer:

• First question: When the wound is deeper than ½ inch.
• Second question: A pale or bluish tint to the skin.
