Nadia’s wrist hasn’t been the same since she overextended while playing tennis, fell, and landed on it. It’s difficult to move it, and it is swollen and warm to the touch. When she goes to the doctor, he tells her that it’s been sprained. How might he tell her to treat it?

Answer:

wrap her wrist in a compression bandage

Step-by-step explanation:

A compression bandage can be seen as a bandage that is use to compress or support an injury wrist or leg for quick recovery. They are often a long strip of cloth which a person can stretch. The compression bandage helps to reduce swelling and apply pressure to the affected area.

Compressions bandage also improve vein circulation in order to reduce swelling.

Which was why the doctor told Nadia to wrap her wrists in a COMPRESSION BANDAGE in order for it to help compress and support her wrists which inturn stabilizes the joint and facilitates recovery of Nadia wrist.
