How should a broken leg be handled if a person must be moved?

Elevate the leg and apply cold
Apply heat immediately
Immobilize the joint above and below the break; don't straighten the limb, but splint it the way you found it
Move the person as little as possible without immobilization

The correct answer is: Immobilize the joint above and below the break; don't straighten the limb, but splint it the way you found it

When a person has a broken leg and needs to be moved, option A is incorrect because cold should not be applied directly to a broken leg as it can slow down healing. Option B is also incorrect as heat can cause swelling and make the injury worse. Option D is also incorrect as moving a person without immobilization can cause further damage to the broken leg. Option C is the correct answer because it is important to keep the joint above and below the break immobilized to prevent aggravation of the injury. It is also important not to straighten the limb, but to keep it in the position it was found in to prevent further harm. Splinting the leg will also help to stabilize the injury and reduce pain.
