Elevate the injured body part above the level of the heart, as this can help to diminish bleeding. Use a clean cloth or slightly damp paper towel, and apply firm pressure to the open wound for about 5 minutes. Then, remove the cloth or paper towel to check if it's still bleeding.  If it's bleeding is significant, do not proceed to any other steps and go to the hospital immediately.  If the bleeding is uncontrollable, or blood is gushing from the wound, call emergency services immediately, as this can be life threatening. If there is foreign material present in the injury, it is always important to see a doctor right away. This is because of the risk of infection, the need to assess if and how the object can be removed safely, as well as the possibility of needing stitches. Do not try to remove the object. Sometimes the object helps to stop the wound from bleeding excessively. If there is anything stuck in the wound, you should see a doctor in the emergency room immediately. These cuts pose a much higher risk of infection, you may need to be vaccinated for prevention, and receive antibiotics, so regardless of whether stitches are needed you should seek professional medical help. If the cut is on the face, the hands, the mouth, or the genitals it is important to be seen by a doctor, as you may need stitching for cosmetic reasons and proper healing.
