What is the easiest and safest way to stop bleeding?

There is regular bleeding and severe bleeding. for regular bleeding, it is not too important. You can just apply a Band-Aid. For severe bleeding, you should first call 911. Then you should put on protection if available.(gloves and goggles) Then you would apply sterile gauze pads or bandages to the wound and apply direct pressure. Never remove the bandage. It may put the clot out. If the blood soaks through, just apply more bandages over the previous. If it is a limb, you also may want to put it above the heart to slow the blood traveling to that area. pressure points such as under the arm may also be used. You would also treat the victim for shock. Use a tourniquet as the final option.
