If a person suffering from possible broken bones and internal injuries is correctly being administered first aid, what statement is true?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Spinal precautions when broken bones or internal injuries are suspected • The general rule about moving vs. not moving a seriously injured person • When it is acceptable to move a casualty (e.g., danger of fire, flooding, or further injury)

💭 Think About

• If someone might have internal injuries or fractures, what is the biggest risk in moving them unnecessarily? • Which option best matches the idea of keeping the person still and supported until higher medical care is available? • In which answer choices is the injured person being asked to walk or be actively moved when it is not absolutely necessary?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify any choice that allows or requires the injured person to walk or be unnecessarily moved and think about whether that is safe with possible internal injuries. • Check which option respects the need to keep the spine and injured areas immobilized as much as possible. • Verify which response mentions the exception of moving the person only if the current location is unsafe (fire, explosion risk, flooding, etc.).

The person should be moved from the scene but not allowed to walk on their own power without assistance.

The person should not be allowed to lie down where injured but should be moved to a chair or bunk.

The person should not be moved (unless remaining on the scene is unsafe), but made comfortable until medical assistance arrives.
