Question

multiple choice 1 point
what should be done for an amputated body part?
keep the part cool.
throw away the body part.
submerge the body part in water
scrub the body part.

Explanation:

When dealing with an amputated body part, keeping it cool (using a dry - sterile dressing and placing it in a plastic bag on ice) helps preserve it for possible re - attachment. Throwing it away is incorrect as re - attachment may be possible. Submerging in water can damage tissues. Scrubbing can also cause tissue damage.

Answer:

Keep the part cool.
