B) have the person lie down, this would make the most sense and be the best because if someone has a(open or not) fracture wound walking on it could potentially make it much worse and do more damage. Applying heat wouldn’t do anything but possibly make it hurt more, depending, cpr is for people who’s heart has stopped so unless their heart stopped, cpr isn’t needed, but lying them down would be the best thing to do.
