Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of each item listed in the options: Sterile gauze pad, adhesive bandage, antibiotic ointment, and cotton swab.

Recall that stopping bleeding from a superficial skin wound requires applying pressure to the wound to help clot formation and prevent further blood loss.

Identify which item is specifically designed to absorb blood and provide pressure to the wound. Sterile gauze pads are commonly used for this purpose as they are absorbent and sterile, reducing the risk of infection.

Consider the other options: Adhesive bandages are used to cover wounds after bleeding has stopped, antibiotic ointments are used to prevent infection, and cotton swabs are used for cleaning or applying substances but not for stopping bleeding.

Conclude that the sterile gauze pad is the most appropriate item for stopping bleeding from a superficial skin wound based on its function and design.
