Question

Please help me with this question!

You are playing basketball and your friend rolls their ankle. They are on the ground in pain and said they can not put any pressure on it. What steps would you take to help them?

Answer 1

1. Help your friend rest their ankle, don't let them put pressure on it.

2. Put ice on the ankle to prevent swelling. Make sure you used a paper towel so that the ice isn't on their bare skin.

3. Immobilize and support the injury.

4. Elevate the ankle above the waist or heart as needed.
