A) Apply oxygen by nonrebreather mask, apply a pressure dressing, and then splint the extremity. Add more dressings as needed.
B) Inspect the wound, apply a pressure dressing, apply oxygen by nonrebreather mask, and then have the patient lie down.
C) Have the patient lie down, secure a tourniquet between the wound and the patient's armpit, and then apply oxygen by nonrebreather mask.
D) Have the patient lie down, apply oxygen by nonrebreather mask, and then secure a tourniquet between his elbow and the wound.
