What should you do in the case of nose bleeding?

Explanation

Correct answer: Squeeze the wings of the nose and lean your head forward.

Pinching the soft part of the nose stops the bleeding by applying direct pressure to the blood vessels. Simultaneously, the head should be tilted forward to prevent blood from flowing into the throat, which prevents the risk of choking or vomiting. Tilting the head back is a mistake that can lead to dangerous complications.
