Your friend sprained her ankle during a game of softball and is waiting for her father to come and take her to the doctor. What should she do in the meantime to treat the sprain?

-Elevate the ankle, stretching it carefully until she can walk on it slowly.
-Massage the ankle slowly, apply a heat pack, and wrap it in a bandage.
-Rest the ankle, elevate it, wrap it in a bandage, and apply ice.
-Wrap the ankle tightly, apply ice, and perform cool-down stretches.

Rest the ankle, elevate it, wrap it in a bandage, and apply ice would be the answer
