The use of a tourniquet is only as a last resort to stop hemorrhaging. What other item may be used?
  1. Rubber band
  2. Sphygmomanometer
  3. Shoe laces
  4. Larno-meter
Explanation
Answer - B - Instead of a tourniquet, a sphygmomanometer may be used to stop hemorrhaging. A sphygmomanometer can be an effective tourniquet if it is inflated to 20-30 mmHg above the patient’s systolic blood pressure. However, if a tourniquet is used to control hemorrhaging, once applied, it should not be released.
