The statement "You should apply a tourniquet for life-threatening bleeding from a wound on the head" is false. Tourniquets are recommended only for life- threatening bleeding from limbs (arms or legs) that cannot be controlled by direct pressure. For bleeding from non-limb areas such as the head, direct pressure is the primary method used to control bleeding rather than a tourniquet, which is not suitable or practical for head wounds. Applying a tourniquet on the head is not advised and is generally not feasible. In summary:
- Use direct pressure for life-threatening bleeding from the head.
- Use a tourniquet only for life-threatening bleeding from limbs when direct pressure fails to control the bleeding.
