Answer:

The asnwer is D) control the bleeding from the wound.

Explanation:

Controlling bleeding from the wound is the most important initial measure that should be carried out, since if this bleeding persists, it can lead the patient to hypovolemia due to acute bleeding with the risk of falling into shock. Depending on the type of bleeding he is presenting, this will be the initial management of bleeding and assess the risk that the patient runs to continue it. Once the bleeding has stopped, the fracture (s) that the patient presents is evaluated.
