Future Soldier Training Practice Test

In suspected fracture, what should you avoid doing?

Move the casualty to a safer position Check for circulation Do not move the casualty to avoid spinal injury Seek medical help

Correct Answer:

Do not move the casualty to avoid spinal injury

Explanation:

In suspected fracture cases with potential spinal injury, the priority is to keep the spine from moving. Movement can cause the bones to shift and the spinal cord to be injured, which may lead to paralysis or other serious complications. Therefore, you should avoid moving the casualty to a different position. Instead, keep them still and immobilize the head and neck in alignment with the body, call for medical help, and monitor their breathing and circulation. If there is immediate danger to life, move only with spinal precautions and then seek professional care as quickly as possible.
