When treating an injured person with an open fracture of a limb, it is necessary to:
Immediately raise the injured limb of the injured person.
Cover the wound with a sterile cloth and immobilize the injured limb.✓Correct answer
Apply pressure to stop bleeding.
Apply a cold lotion to the wound.
Explanation
A sterile cover protects an open fracture from contamination, and immobilization prevents bone movement from worsening bleeding or tissue damage. Manipulating or simply elevating the limb can disturb the fracture, while pressure must not be applied directly over protruding bone.
