AAMA CMA Practice Question

A 14-year-old patient presents to the clinic with an obvious deformity to the forearm after falling from a skateboard. The patient is experiencing severe pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. What is the first action that should be taken in this situation, considering basic first aid principles, before the patient is seen by a healthcare provider?

  • Administer a hot pack to reduce swelling and discomfort.

  • Immobilize the limb in the position found and wait for further assessment by the healthcare provider.

  • Support the limb by encouraging the patient to maintain use of the affected area until assessed by a healthcare provider.

  • Attempt to correct the deformity to its natural position before immobilization.
