Solution

The correct options are
A

Ensure that you get the recommended dose of calcium in your diet


B

Immobilize the injured area after the injury


C

Use a plaster, sling or cast to support the broken bone


Immobilizing the injured area will help reduce pain. Cast, slings, braces and plasters are used to keep the bone in position and aid healing. Calcium and phosphorous are needed for bone health and should be taken in recommended quantities to speed up the healing process.

A plaster cast will fall apart if it gets wet. It could also itch or smell. Hence it is advised to protect the cast from getting wet.
