In Albanian first-aid guidelines for road accidents, where on the body should a tourniquet be placed relative to a severely bleeding limb wound?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 5 to 7 centimetres above the bleeding wound, closer to the heart, never over a joint
- Step 1: Under the Albanian Highway Code (Kodi Rrugor), Placing the tourniquet 5-7 cm proximal to the injury compresses arterial inflow against long bones. Answer: 5 to 7 centimetres above the bleeding wound, closer to the heart, never over a joint. Why not the others: Directly on top of the open wound laceration does not represent the statutory Albanian safety standard.
