Answer A “for supporting the injured parts” is not complete.
Bandages are used for covering and for supporting the wounds, as well as for stopping bleedings. The bandage is the strip with which the dressing is fixed at the level of the wound. In its absence, any other clean material can be used. The dressing is a piece of gauze that is applied to a wound, with the purpose of preventing contamination or stopping the bleeding. The dressing is made of sterile gauze, but in its absence any textile material can be used, provided it is clean.
Simple bandages, without splints or without something rigid to support the fracture, are NOT useful in the case of a fracture.
The correct answer is: B
