Question 1(g)

Mohit was playing football in the school playground with his friends. All of a sudden, he fell badly on the ground. His right hand was most likely fractured. What first-aid should be given to him?

  1. Mohit should be laid down on the ground and the fractured part should be moved continuously.
  2. Tie a sling to rest the arm on it.
  3. Apply some alkali, like baking soda on the fractured part.
  4. Apply hot water bag around the fractured part
Answer

Tie a sling to rest the arm on it.

Reason — In the given case, Mohit should be laid down comfortably, and the fractured arm should not be moved. We should tie a sling upon which the arm can rest.
