Question

having an individual lie down and elevate his or her legs after breaking a bone is intended to a. immobilize the area b. stop bleeding c. prevent shock d. speed healing please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

When a person breaks a bone, lying down and elevating legs can help maintain blood - flow to vital organs and prevent shock. Immobilizing the area is usually done with a splint, not by lying down and elevating legs. Lying down and elevating legs doesn't directly stop bleeding or speed up the healing process of the broken bone.

Answer:

C. prevent shock
