Correct answer

  • BSí, si la hemorragia fuese externa.Yes, if the bleeding is external.
Explanation

Externalised bleeding must not be plugged, because it is internal bleeding that shows on the outside (for example, through the ear or nose). External bleeding, however, must be blocked by pressing directly on the wound.
