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 downward, the arm is placed in a sling. The patient must be transported in a sitting position, slightly leaning back. Leaning forward is not recommended because this may lead to the displacement of the fragments.
The shoulder must NOT be brought into a normal position, this procedure must be done only in medical units and only by specialized personnel.
If you leave the arm free, it will create greater tension in the fracture area, which would lead to greater pain and possibly displacement of the fragments.
The correct answer is: A
