Answer:

A) Swelling.

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary assessment of hurt includes DRABC

Danger

Response

Airway

Breathing

Circulation

As the option A) Swelling doesnt accomodate in any of these options.

Option B can be included in circulation assessment of DRABC as bleeding is closely associated with the problem or defect of circulation while option C breathing is itself a component of the primary assessment according to DRABC and option D Consciousness is also an important component pf the primary assessment as it determines wheter a person is conscious or not.

Hence option A) Swelling is the right answer.
