[gotcha] Tilting the head back to stop a nosebleed

Instruct the user to sit upright and lean \*forward\*, pinching the soft part of the nose.

Journey Context:
Tilting back is a deeply ingrained cultural reflex. It causes blood to drain down the pharynx, leading to nausea, vomiting, and potentially airway obstruction or choking. Leaning forward uses gravity to drain blood out of the nose instead of the airway.
