Answer:

Four to eight times a day for 20 minutes at a time.-apex

Explanation:

Sprain is an injury that causes stretching or rupture of ligaments in the joint. Experts often suggest ice in the region to relieve pain and reduce swelling. This ice should be placed four to eight times a day for 20 minutes at a time.

Ice is an excellent analgesic and anti-inflammatory method. Low-cost and home-made, it can be taken in risky sports (football, racing, volleyball, etc.) and can be administered immediately after injury. However, care must be taken because very low temperatures can damage nerve structures that are very sensitive to temperature changes.

Can you list 4-5 ways to make sure you get to virtual class on time, everyday?
Yanka [14]

<u>Yes, they are:</u>

1. Go to sleep early so that you can wake up early without having to over-sleep in the morning.

2. Wash your face, and eat breakfast so that your face is clean, and you have enough energy to focus in school.

3. Get your paper, pencils etc, a few minutes before school so that you don't have to waste time during school while doing a test, assignment etc.

4. Don't waste time playing video games before virtual school so that when you are doing your assignment/test you can concentrate instead of thinking about that game.

5.  Do your homework at a considerable time of the day so that you don't have to do it in the night and not get enough sleep.
