Group 10 · First aid · Question 49 of 51

How should first aid be provided for limb fractures when no splints or materials for making a splint are available?

Choose an answer to check yourself.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: With the upper limb bent at the elbow and supported in a sling, secure it to the torso. Tie the lower limbs together, placing soft material between them.

Explanation

Without splints, the victim's own body serves as the splint. The arm, bent at the elbow and supported in a sling, is tied to the torso, and the legs are tied together with soft material between them so they do not press or rub. An arm tied straight along the body, or legs tied without padding, is the wrong method.
