BROKEN BONES
What To Do
- 1. Remove clothing from the broken part.
2. Apply a cold compress with a cloth wrapped around it on the suspected broken bone
3. Place a splint on the broken part by:
• Keep the injured limb in the position you find it
• Place soft padding around the injured part
• Place something firm next to the injured part. The object should be large enough to go past the joint above and below the injury. Firm objects such as rolled newspaper or piece of board can work.
• Use first-aid tape to bind the split.
4. Seek medical care immediately and refrain from eating
