A) tightly wrap roller gauze around a large sterile dressing placed over the top of the injury. B) apply direct pressure to the elbow to slow the flow of blood into the distal arm. C) place a large sterile dressing over the site with hand pressure applied over the top of the dressing. D) wrap the injury site tightly with roller gauze and apply a tourniquet above the laceration.
