If a child or person uses a knife or any sharp object and cuts the sharp object, the first thing to do is to move the victim to a comfortable place, and then start treatment, if there is a lot of blood, wash with clean water to find out where you cut, and stop the bleeding.

If it is a small incision, you can ask the injured person to apply pressure to the hemorrhage, the fingertip can be fixed and after a few minutes, the bleeding will stop, you can. then take out the germs, and put them on.

If the cut is bigger than a fingertip that can stop, there are two ways, if you do not have a first aid kit, if the bleeding goes from the elbow down to the fingers, you can ask the person to lift the injured part above the heart rate, that is, over the head, and get help, or take the injured to hospital. . If the first aid kit is on you, wrap the pad in your bandage, square shape pad, and add direct pressure to the injured part, tie the pad in hand and take the person to the nearest hospital.

On the nose, place the person in a comfortable position, such as a chair, leaning forward to allow him to look down and get a small bowl of sand so that the blood can fall into the bowl. in case you bleed too much, put a clean pad on your nose and press it down your nose. . Seek medical help. Note:
Never bend the injured person's head back
