A. control the bleeding, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), stabilize the steel rod, immobilize his spine, and transport immediately

Explanation:

The first priority is to arrest the bleeding to ensure continuous pumping of the heart, needed to prevent organ failures, hypovolemic shock(from depleted blood volume) and other complications or even death.

Once this is done blood and oxygen supply should be maintained, lungs should be kept inflated, and oxygen supply to the brain should be maintained to prevent fainting.Thus CPR followed

Once the physiological mechanisms has been re-established, then the steel rod should be stabilize to prevent further damages to the tissues and organs.

To prevent secondary spinal cord injuries which may occur during examination ,evacuation and transport , Spinal cord should be immobilized.
