36. To stop a wound from bleeding, you should

a.
wash the wound thoroughly.

b.
remove gauze pads that have been soaked with blood.

c.
raise the wounded body part above the level of the heart.

d.
check the wound frequently to see if it has stopped bleeding.

c.

raise the wounded body part above the level of the heart

Explanation:

raising the wounded body part above the heart tends to help slow the blood flow and it would be easier to stop it.

why other answers are wrong:

a. is wrong because if you clean the wound then it will continue to bleed after cleaned because it will not stop the blood flow.

b. is wrong because gauze pads can help cover the wound and to absorb blood, so less blood flows from your body. Gauze pads also help cover the wound to protect the wound from contaminations that could enter your wound and infect your body.

d. is wrong because if you wait and do nothing then more blood will get out of your body and you might die of loss of blood. But if you apply pressure and check wound sometimes then that might help stop bleeding.

hope this !
