Which of the following instructions to your partner indicates that you have a proper understanding of the care for this patient's arm?

a. "After we splint his wrist, we will need to apply a sling and swathe to prevent further movement." b. "When you splint that arm, make sure that it is somewhat loose so the patient can move it if he becomes uncomfortable." c.
