Question

Discuss first aid treatment for sprains and strains.

Answer 1

1. R = Rest (Rest is necessary after sprain and strain injuries.)
2. I = Ice (Applying ice packs helps reduce swelling and relieve pain.)
3. C = Compression (Compression helps control swelling by gently pressing the injured area with light pressure.)
4. E = Elevation (Keeping the injured part raised above heart level helps drain extra fluid due to gravity.)
5. R = Referral (In serious cases, the patient should be referred to a hospital.)
