When a person experiences a fracture or broken bone you should call 911 and move them to a sitting position. T or F?

False. You must assess where the fracture is located. If it's on an extremity then yes you may sit them up. But if it's on the truck, you may not move them due to risk of worsening it. Log roll should be preformed to be put onto a spine board and transported to a hospital. 911 should always be called in both situations.
