True

Washing the wound with soap and water is not sufficient to keep it safe. Properly wash the wound with clear warm water and use tweezers to remove any dirt that still appears after washing. Next is to use direct pressure to control bleeding and swelling. Wrap the wound with sterile bandage and monitor your wound for any infections.
