<u>RICE for treating physical injuries: </u>

“RICE – Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation”

After an injury (knee or ankle sprain) the pain and swelling can be relieved and wound can be made flexible and healed.

<u>Rest:</u> Need to take rest and protect the injured area.

<u>Ice: </u>By applying cold ice pack will reduce pain and swelling.  

<u>Compression:</u> Need to wrap the injured area with an elastic bandage will compress the wound and reduce swelling.

<u>Elevation:</u> Need to place the injured area at a height (above the heart level) which helps in minimizing the swelling.

do not carry pneumatic tools by the __________. a. air hose b. hose clamps c. retainers d. safety clips
MakcuM [25]
<span>The correct answer is A. Air hose. That's because the air hose is elastic on its own and becomes firm when air goes through it. If you were carrying it by the hose, then if the gear malfunctioned and air started rushing through you wouldn't be able to control the device and it could hurt you or anyone near you as it would go rampant and you wouldn't be able to catch it.</span>
