Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: A) Help control bleeding and keep germs out.
Dressings and pads serve a dual purpose: to apply direct pressure to control bleeding and to provide a sterile barrier that prevents pathogens from entering the wound. While they might offer minimal warmth, their primary functions are hemostasis and infection control.
