Which step requires applying pressure using the digital tip?

• A. Stabilize the target
• B. Pressure/counter pressure
• C. Apply the pressure using Digital Tip
• D. Loud repetitive verbal commands

Answer: (C)

The key idea is using the fingertip to apply direct, localized pressure. When a precise point needs pressure—for example to control bleeding or compress a small vessel—the digital tip provides the most controlled contact. It concentrates force in a tiny area, allowing quick, accurate application without unnecessary pressure elsewhere. Stabilizing the target focuses on creating a steady position, not on applying that focused pressure. Pressure/counter pressure involves opposing forces for restraint or movement control, not the act of pressing with a fingertip. Loud repetitive commands are about communication and de-escalation, not physical pressure. So the step that specifically requires applying pressure with the fingertip is the one using digital tip.
