Question

why do fractures need to be treated immediately by a medical professional?
a bones need to be set before the healing process may begin
b bones need to be set immediately, before they begin to heal, or they may heal crooked
c unless bones are set immediately, the healing process can take years to complete
d unless bones are set immediately the fracture will result in abnormal bone growths.
please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

When a bone is fractured, it starts the healing process. If not set immediately (by a medical professional), the bone may heal in an incorrect position (crooked). Option A is incorrect as bones start the healing process (inflammation phase) right away. Option B is wrong because bones don't need to be set "immediately" before healing begins - healing begins shortly after fracture. Option D is incorrect as abnormal bone growth is not the main reason for immediate setting compared to mis - alignment.

Answer:

C. Unless bones are set immediately, before they begin to heal, or they may heal crooked.
