How should you dress a heavily bleeding wound to stop the bleeding?

Explanation

Correct answer: Apply a pressure dressing.

Applying a pressure dressing is the primary and most effective method for controlling severe external bleeding. Direct and sustained pressure on the wound causes the damaged blood vessels to constrict, which significantly reduces blood loss and facilitates clot formation. This is a crucial first aid action that can save the casualty's life.
