For answer  A 

The statement “for supporting the injured parts” is incomplete, because bandages are not used only for support, but also for other essential purposes, such as the protection of the wounds or the stopping of bleedings.

For answer  B 

Bandages are used to cover and support the wounds, as well as to stop the bleedings. The bandage represents the gauze used for securing the dressing applied to the wound. If a gauze is not available, any clean material can be used as a substitute.
The dressing, on the other hand, consists of a piece of sterile gauze applied directly to the wound, having the role of preventing contamination and stopping the bleeding. In the absence of sterile gauze, any clean textile material can be used.

For answer  C 

Simple bandages, without the use of splints or other rigid elements that stabilize the fracture, are NOT suitable for immobilizing a fracture. They do not provide the necessary support to prevent the worsening of the injury.

The correct answer is: B
