Final answer:

To control bleeding, an HHA should apply direct pressure by holding a thick pad against the wound and pressing down hard.


Explanation:

To control bleeding, an HHA should:

  • Hold a thick pad against the wound and press down hard: Applying direct pressure on the wound helps to stop the bleeding.
  • Apply light pressure with a bandage: Light pressure with a bandage is not sufficient to control bleeding effectively.
  • Use a topical antibiotic cream on the wound: Applying a topical cream does not help in controlling bleeding.
