A fractured bone may or may not penetrate the skin
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False

A fractured bone may or may not penetrate the skin because there are two types of fractures: closed fractures and open fractures.

Therefore, it is true that a fractured bone may or may not penetrate the skin.

Stretching is the best course of action with muscle cramps
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Stretching is the best course of action with muscle cramps because it helps to relieve the tension and tightness in the affected muscle. When a muscle cramp occurs, the muscle contracts and becomes shortened, causing pain and discomfort. By stretching the muscle, it can be lengthened and relaxed, which can alleviate the cramp. Stretching also increases blood flow to the muscle, promoting healing and reducing the risk of future cramps. Additionally, stretching can help improve flexibility and prevent muscle imbalances, which can contribute to cramping. Therefore, stretching is an effective and recommended approach for managing muscle cramps.

Compression does not prevent swelling
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Compression does not prevent swelling. This statement is false because compression is actually known to help reduce swelling. When applied to an injured area, compression works by applying pressure, which helps to reduce the flow of fluid to the area, thus minimizing swelling. Additionally, compression can also help to support and stabilize the injured area, promoting healing and preventing further damage. Therefore, compression is an effective method for managing swelling.

This acronym is commonly used in medical assessments to ensure a thorough examination of the affected area. By checking for all these signs, healthcare professionals can identify any abnormalities or injuries that may require further attention or treatment.
