Which of the following conditions is considered active bleeding?

  1. Internal bleeding from a controlled peptic ulcer

  2. External trauma that has been dressed and controlled

  3. Intermittent bleeding from renal colic

  4. Bleeding gums after dental surgery

The correct answer is: Bleeding gums after dental surgery

Active bleeding refers to ongoing or continuous bleeding that has not been stopped or controlled. In this case, bleeding gums after dental surgery are considered active bleeding because the gums are still bleeding and have not been stopped from bleeding by a dressing or other means. Options A, B, and C all indicate bleeding that has been controlled or stopped, thus they are not considered active bleeding.
