Which of the following is the best term to describe the immobilizing of an injury using a device such as a piece of wood, cardboard, or folded blanket?

Amputating

Explanation

Answer: C - The term splinting refers to immobilizing an injury using a device such as a piece of wood, cardboard, or folded blanket. Manual isolation involves immobilizing an injury using one’s hands. Splinting is helpful because it allows a patient to be moved with less chance of causing soft tissue damage, which can prolong recovery times.
