Question

you suspect that mary has seriously sprained her knee. to care for mary, you decide to apply a splint to her leg. the splint should — include the entire leg and foot. include the bones above and below the knee. include the bone above the knee only.

Explanation:

When applying a splint for a knee injury, the goal is to immobilize the joint. This is best achieved by including the bones above (femur) and below (tibia) the knee. Including the entire leg and foot is unnecessary for a knee - specific injury. Including only the bone above the knee does not provide adequate immobilization.

Answer:

Include the bones above and below the knee.
