Question 643 of 802

In the case of a clavicle fracture (the shoulder is in a hanging position, slightly forward and downward), proceed as follows:

A the arm is placed in a sling;
B the shoulder is brought into a normal position;
C the arm is left free.

Explanation

For answer A

In the case of a clavicle fracture that 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. Forward bending is not recommended because it may lead to displacement of the fragments.


For answer B

The shoulder must NOT be brought into a 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, greater tension will be created in the fracture area, which would lead to greater pain and possibly to displacement of the fragments.


The correct answer is: A
