⩥ manifestation of strain and sprain and acute care.
Answer: full function 3-6 wks
-stop activity, limit mocement
-ice, compressing area
-elavate

,-RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation (decrease inflammation and
pain)- ice (24-48 hrs, 20-30 min)
⩥ fracture.
Answer: disruption to break in continuity of bone (disease process or
traumatic)
⩥ goal for fractures.
