In what position should you place a person with a nosebleed?

To manage a nosebleed, the person should be seated upright and slightly leaning forward to prevent blood from flowing down the throat. It's important to avoid tilting the head back, as this can lead to swallowing blood. Pinching the nostrils together for about 10 minutes can help control the bleeding. If the bleeding persists or is severe, medical attention should be sought.
