An injured patron is responsive and bleeding. after summoning ems personnel, obtaining consent and putting on disposable gloves, what is your next care step?

Your next care step should be: Press firmly against the wound with a sterile dressing and bandage
The patron will die if he/she lose too much blood. So, you need to press firmly against the wound in order to slow down the blood's outflow. 
You need a sterile dressing or bandage to do this in order to prevent potential infection from the contact.

That’s what i was going to say.

Bshould be correct hope this
