Answer:

number 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assist the victim to get up and walk to the sidewalk, before reducing the fracture manually, then you leave the victim for a few moments to call an ambulance, and you finally stay with the victim and encourage him or her to remain still .

Because you can't do all this on the road so number 2 is the first step
