What is the correct action for pressure-point bleeding control?
Pressure point control of bleeding actions include finding a place on the body where blood vessels are close to the surface, are over a bone, where you can feel a pulse, and that is closer to the heart than the wound. Once you have found the appropriate place, apply pressure with the fingers or with the heel of the hand. The action should compress the artery against the bone and shut off the blood flow from the heart to the wound.

What is the first step in caring for a wound with significant bleeding?
Stop the blood flow to the area with the wound. Take a belt, piece of clothing, string, etc, and tie it tightly enough above the woun so the circulation below it will slow or cease. If you tie it too tight, you could make them lose the part that's getting no circulation, but it's much better than bleeding to death. Then, find a cloth or something that's absorbent an put it on top of the wound and apply pressure. It'll hurt them, but it sops the bleeding even more. Then, call an ambulance. Doctors will be able to do their best to fix it and stitch it up.
