Applying direct pressure over a dressing is ineffective in controlling severe external hemorrhage from a limb wound.
True
False
The statement is false. In cases of severe external hemorrhage, especially from limb wounds, applying direct pressure over a dressing is a primary and effective first step in hemorrhage control. This method helps in compressing the bleeding vessels, which minimizes blood loss and can be life-saving while further medical treatment is being prepared. Misunderstanding this could delay appropriate care and worsen patient outcomes.
