A superficial wound means that the individual has a wound that is on or near the surface of the skin. The epidermis (the top layer of skin) is most affected by the cause of the injury and the site of the wound. This means that the wound is not bad in terms of the degree of the severity of the wound. An example of a superficial wound is an abrasion. Although this type of wound is not severe, it still needs to be taken care of to insure that it stays that way (prevent infection, etc.).

What first aid given to a person having cuts?
Check them over, find all the open areas, if the cuts are superficial clean them up. Preferably with Normal Saline, you can add antibiotic ointment and cover with guaze if you think the wound needs it. Otherwise just be sure to keep the wound clean to prevent infection. If the cuts aren't superficial go to the emergency department if you think you need sutures or styaples. If it doesn't look too bad, but bleeds a lot then clean it up and then apply pressure over the area to help decrease the blood flow. It helps if you hold the area high, for example if you have a cut on your forearm, holding it above your head will help slow the blood flow.
What does tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church door but tis enough mean?
This is a quote from Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio has been stabbed under Romeo's arm but does not want to be shown as a weakling in front of "the guys" . When asked if it is a bad wound, he says the wound is not as deep as a well, nor as wide as a church, but it is bad enough to kill him. He is taken into a nearby house where he then dies.
