In the case of a nosebleed, what should you do?
Apply a hot compress to the nose
Tilt the head back
Blow the nose hard
Pinch the nostrils and lean forward

Explanation

Pinch the nostrils and lean forward.
This is the correct first aid response for a nosebleed. Pinching the nostrils applies pressure to the bleeding point, while leaning forward prevents blood from draining into the throat.
