Bloody Nose/ Cuts
A. When you get a bloody nose or a cut the best thing to do is put pressure on it. For a nose bleed you can ball up a tissue and stick it in your nose to soak up the blood and change it when needed and after about 5 minutes of it being in your nose it should be done bleeding. For a cut put some neosporion on it and then put a band aid on it.
B. Some things that might indicate if the child needs stitches is excessive skin hanging from the cut and if the cut is bleeding a lot and the cut is fairly deep.
