Question
a person with a broken leg must be moved. how should the broken leg be handled?
a place padding around the leg, and give the victim pain reliever.
b pack ice around the leg, and give the victim pain reliever.
c immobilize the joint above and below the break. straighten the limb as much as possible, and place a splint.
d immobilize the joint above and below the break. dont straighten the limb, but splint it the way you found it.
When moving a person with a broken leg, it is crucial not to straighten the limb as this can cause further damage. Immobilizing the joints above and below the break and splinting the leg in its current position (without straightening) helps prevent additional injury. Giving pain reliever without proper immobilization (options A and B) is not the correct first - step for moving a person with a broken leg. Option C's advice of straightening the limb is incorrect as it can lead to more harm.
