Which one of the following should not be used as first aid to stop bleeding of the injured VIP ?
Explanation
Standard first aid protocols for controlling external bleeding focus on mechanical methods to encourage clotting and reduce blood flow. These include applying direct pressure to the wound, elevation of the injured limb above the level of the heart (used in conjunction with pressure), and the application of pressure bandages.
Injecting Morphine is not a first aid measure for stopping bleeding. Morphine is a potent opioid analgesic that should only be administered by qualified medical personnel. In emergency trauma situations, morphine can be dangerous as it may cause respiratory depression or hypotension (low blood pressure), which can be fatal for a patient already suffering from blood loss. Furthermore, first aid is intended for immediate stabilization, not the administration of controlled clinical drugs.
