Question

if you experience a soft tissue injury, one of the first steps you should take is to multiple choice increase hyponatremia. apply heat. elevate the area of the injury. make sure the area of injury is not compressed.

Explanation:

In the case of soft - tissue injury, elevating the injured area helps reduce swelling by allowing gravity to assist in fluid drainage. Increasing hyponatremia is not a step for treating injury. Applying heat too soon can increase swelling. Compression is often part of treatment (e.g., with an elastic bandage), so ensuring non - compression is incorrect.

Answer:

C. elevate the area of the injury
