Explanation

For immobilizing a fracture, the splint must be rigid and long enough to fully support the fractured area, including the adjacent joints above and below the fracture. In the case of limb fractures, the splint is fixed so as to stabilize these joints, reducing the risk of movement of the bone fragments. To protect the soft tissues, a soft layer of gauze or cotton is applied between the splint and the skin. This method minimizes the risk of complications and provides comfort to the victim until medical intervention.

The correct answer is: C

Recommendations:
