Workplace First Aid Challenge: Are You Ready to Respond?

How should you handle a nosebleed in the workplace?

Correct Incorrect When someone is bleeding from their nose, have them lean their head forward. This helps ensure that the blood flows out through their nose instead of down their throat, which could block their airway.

How should you handle a nosebleed in the workplace?

• Tell them to tilt their head forward to allow the blood to flow out of the nose
• Instruct them to tilt their head back so the blood drains down their throat
• Encourage them to breathe slowly through their nose
• Advise them to keep coughing to expel the blood
