Bleeding that is characterized by pulsatile flow and bright red blood is:
  1. Arterial
  2. Systemic
  3. Venous
  4. Capillary
Explanation
Answer: A - When a bleed can be seen pulsating with flow and the blood is bright red, it is an arterial bleed. When patients have arterial bleeds, the body will eventually pump all of the blood out of the body. Provide quick care to these injuries and transport to the emergency room as soon as possible, as several of these patients will need surgery to correct these wounds.
