What is the first step when trying to stop severe bleeding A- place a clean cloth over the wound and press firmly with the hand B-elevate the wound above the level of the heart C-secure a pad in place after bleeding slows D-stay with the victom until help arrives WILL MARK BRAINLEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST CORRECT AND ADDS ME ON ROBLOX @yogirlprecious13

A- place a clean cloth over the wound and press firmly with the hand

Explanation:

blood needs to clot in order to start the process of healing and stop the bleeding, and this cannot be done if flow does not stop.

the second thing to do would be elevating the wound above the heart, as this will slow the blood flow - it is harder for blood to travel upwards than downwards.

hope this helps :)
