Explanation

The readings are the kun'yomi vocab readings. You already know 's reading from the kanji and vocab, and you should know the vocab reading of as well. Put them together and you have はなち, though you want to change the to . Alternatively, it's possible (though less common, but it doesn't matter if you're turning it to kanji via an IME anyways) to write it as はなじ. I guess that blood added a little tenten (it represents the blood coming out of that nose!). Spurt spurt spurt.
