Answer:

Immobilize the arm using the areas above and below the break.

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test and it's the right answer, but it also makes sense because you should not push the bone back into the skin nor touch the ends of the bones. This is because the bones are now covered in bacteria. Immobilizing the break to prevent any further damage is the best option.
