Explanation

For answer A

In the case of a clavicle fracture which can be identified by the fact that the shoulder is in a hanging position, slightly forward and down, the arm is placed in a sling. The patient must be transported in a sitting position, slightly leaned back. Leaning forward is not recommended because this can lead to the displacement of the fragments.

For answer B

The shoulder will NOT be brought into the normal position, this procedure will be done only in medical units and only by specialized personnel.

For answer C

If you leave the arm free, a greater tension will be created in the fracture area, which would lead to greater pain and possibly to the displacement of the fragments.

The correct answer is: A
