Explanation:

• Question 1: Injuries to the thigh bone or pelvis can be severe and may cause internal bleeding or other life - threatening conditions, warranting a call to EMS/9 - 1 - 1. Rib or sternum injuries, while serious, may not always require immediate EMS. A dislocated joint can sometimes be managed initially without EMS in some cases. Warm skin below an injury is not an absolute indicator for calling EMS.
• Question 2: The RICE acronym stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Among the given options, the closest correct one with the right components is Rest, Immobilize, Cool (ice is a form of cooling), Elevate.
• Question 3: When applying a sling or splint, it should cover the joints above and below the injury to properly immobilize and support the injured area. Immobilizing straight may not be possible or appropriate for all injuries. Padding is often necessary for comfort and to prevent pressure sores. Jewelry should be removed as swelling may occur.

Answer:

Question 1: A. The injury involves the thigh bone or pelvis
Question 2: B. Rest, Immobilize, Cool, Elevate
Question 3: B. You should use a splint or sling that is long enough to cover the joints above and below the injury
