Answer 5

It's often impossible to tell, unless you're bleeding internally. You'll feel pain in the area injured, and may be sleepy, dizzy, loss of blood pressure if you have the equipment/training to identify this. Dehydration is not uncommon, either. Blood may be visible through the skin as it pools outside of the organs but in the body itself, paleness higher up, and red around the feet/legs.
