Question 1555 Deck Safety
70% to passHow does bleeding from a vein appear?
The correct answer is B) dark red and has a steady flow. Bleeding from a vein typically appears as dark red and has a steady, continuous flow. This is because venous blood has already circulated through the body and has a lower oxygen content, resulting in the darker red color. The steady flow is characteristic of the lower pressure in the venous system compared to arterial bleeding, which appears bright red and spurts. The other options are incorrect because: A) bright red and spurting is indicative of arterial bleeding, C) bright red and slow is not consistent with the steady flow of venous bleeding, and D) dark red and spurting does not match the typical appearance of venous bleeding.
