🔍 Key Concepts

💭 Think About

• If someone may have broken bones or internal injuries, what is the biggest danger in moving them around or making them walk? • Which choice best limits movement of the injured person while still protecting their airway and comfort until help arrives? • Look at the options: which ones involve unnecessary movement versus keeping the person as still and supported as possible?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options involve walking or sitting the person up – these are usually unsafe with possible internal injuries. • Check which option focuses on minimizing movement and waiting for medical assistance. • Remember standard first aid guidance: with suspected fractures or internal injuries, the priority is usually to avoid moving the casualty unless absolutely necessary.
