Write the next sentence in this paragraph:

How to treat a wound
Apply pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding.
Wash your hands and then use a clean bandage or cloth to press firmly on the wound. Washing your hands will prevent you from transferring bacteria from your hands to the wound.
The pressure will help slow the bleeding and promote clotting. If the wound is on an arm, hand, leg, or foot, you can also slow the bleeding by raising it above your heart.
