| Now that you know the wounds you are dealing with, you can address them. Limbs can be immediately addressed by using a tourniquet on them. Torso or head will need to be bandaged. **Make smart use of the resources at your disposal**: if you only have one tourniquet, use it on the most-wounded limb to address all of that bleeding at once. Remember: if you're treating someone else, you use their supplies first (default setting), so you potentially have access to an extra tourniquet and so on. | Now that you know the wounds you are dealing with, you can address them.
