Which statement made by the EMT shows an understanding of dressing and bandaging a wound?

A) "When applying a bandage over a dressing, I apply it loosely so as not to interfere with circulation to the extremity." B) "If bleeding from a wound cannot be initially stopped with direct pressure, I apply a bandage and dressing so I can take care of other injuries." C) "I always leave the tips of the fingers or toes exposed when bandaging the arm or leg so future assessment of circulation is possible." D) "I always bandage across the joint above the wound since this helps control bleeding by applying pressure to the proximal blood vessels."
