Before treating any kind of wound, you should always make sure that your hands are as clean as possible, to avoid infecting the wound with anything you may be carrying on your skin. Use warm water and anti-bacterial hand soap, if you have it available. It may be helpful to also use an antibacterial hand sanitizer after washing hands. Use vinyl gloves if you have them available. Latex gloves are also okay, but be sure that the person whose lip you are treating is not allergic to latex. The important thing is to create a barrier of clean, sterile material between your hand and the wound. Try your best to avoid breathing or coughing/sneezing near the site of the wound. Have the person whose lip is bleeding sit up, then forward and tilt his chin down toward his chest. By draining the blood forward, out of the mouth, you're preventing him from swallowing his own blood, which can cause vomiting and could create a choking hazard. Often when a person's mouth is injured, there are other related injuries that were caused by the initial trauma. Seek medical care immediately if any of these occur. These may include: Loose or missing teeth Fractures to the face or jaw Difficulty swallowing or breathing If the trauma that caused the wound involved a piece of metal or other dirty items or surfaces, the injured person could be at risk for a tetanus infection. Infants and young children should receive tetanus shots at the age of two months (in the form of the DTaP vaccine), four months, and six months, and again at 15 months through 18 months of age, with a booster given between ages 4 through 6 years of age. If the injured person has a dirty wound, he should make sure he has had a tetanus booster shot within the last 5 years. If he has not, he should receive one. Adolescents and teenagers should be given a booster shot some time between the ages of 11 through 18 years old. Tetanus booster shots should be administered to adults every ten years. Ask the injured person to remove any jewelry that might be around the cut, including tongue or lip rings. Also remove any food or gum that may have been in the mouth when the injury occurred. This step is important in order to prevent infection and reduce the risk of scarring. If there are objects in the wound itself like dirt particles or pebbles remove them by having the injured person place the wound under a running faucet until it's clean of particles. If that's uncomfortable for the person, fill a glass with water and pour it over the wound. Keep refilling the glass until you've washed the matter out of the wound. Use a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide to deep clean the wound. Just be sure the injured person does not accidentally swallow any peroxide.

summary: Wash your hands. Avoid contaminating the wound. Tilt the injured person's head forward. Check for associated injuries. Confirm that the person is up to date on vaccines. Clear the mouth of removable objects. Clean the wound.

To keep your vehicle moving smoothly, be sure to slow down well ahead of any speed bumps, turns, or stoplights that you approach. Engage the clutch to put the gear shift into the neutral position if you need to slow down to the point where you need to put the engine in a lower gear. Pay attention to road signs that will tell you when a speed bump or turn is coming up. If you're in traffic that's traveling at speeds up to about 10 miles (16km) per hour, keep the engine in first gear so you can move forward steadily. The vehicle won't move forward if it's in the neutral gear. Shift the vehicle into second gear when the traffic gets up to about 15 miles (24km) per hour. Be sure to keep at least 1 car length in front of you in case you need to stop suddenly. If you're moving too slow in 1st gear, the engine could stall. Engage the clutch, shift the gear shift into neutral, and release the clutch to keep the engine in neutral. Let the vehicle roll and use your breaks to slow it down or stop if you need to. Don't put the engine into the neutral gear then coast while using your breaks to slow down or you could cause the vehicle to jerk or the gears to grind. Instead, shift back down through the successive gears until you're in the gear that's best suited to maintain the speed that traffic is moving in. Don't skip gears. For instance, don't shift from 4th gear straight to 2nd or it can cause the gears to grind and the vehicle to shake uncomfortably.
summary: Slow down ahead of speed bumps and turns. Keep the vehicle in 1st gear in slow-moving traffic. Put the gear shift in the neutral position when traffic stops or slows to a crawl. Downshift while using the breaks to slow down from a higher gear.
