points in your body that hurt when pressed or when pressure is applied.
stopping bleading
Direct pressure is the best method to control bleeding. Be prepared, take a first aid course or get a first aid kit and read the manual before you need to use it.
Check your surroundings and call the police

A Internal Positive Pressure aid is an artificial aid for breathing used if you have problems with your muscles or lungs.
Some foot pressure points that can help alleviate headaches include the base of the big toe, the area between the first and second toes, and the center of the heel. Applying pressure to these points may help relieve headache symptoms.
Use sterile bandages and apply direct pressure to the area.

To stop bleeding effectively using first aid, apply direct pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or bandage. Elevate the wound above the heart if possible to reduce blood flow. If bleeding persists, apply a pressure bandage and seek medical help.
Generally speaking, yes. It is what is taught in basic first-aid classes. I am unsure what the significance of asking about a home health aide applying pressure is. If your concern is that the aide isn't properly educated to apply pressure to a bleeding wound: they may be. Most home health aide agencies train their staff in basic first aid and CPR. Applying pressure is the first thing to do to control bleeding after assessing the situation to be sure it is safe to do so and that you are capable. If the aide assessed the situation and decided for whatever reason NOT to apply pressure then he or she shouldn't have, provided their assessment was sound. Generally speaking, if the aide is trained in first aid and they are on-the-job and it is safe for them to do basic first aid, then they are bound by their agency's policy to do it, assuming the patient gives consent. (Unconsciousness, in this case, would be consent.)
