the correct answer is c :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

If you have a sprained ankle while waiting to see the doctor you should rest, wrap the ankle in a tight bandage to keep it still and in a set position, apply ice to bring down any swelling and bruising and elevate the injured ankle to take any pressure off your ankle and to prevent more swelling.
