Moving a patient with a spinal injury can cause permanent damage.
Explanation:
The "spinal cord" is a very important structure of the human body. It is part of the <em>central nervous system</em>. It serves as a "pathway" for messages to travel when the brain sends some commands in order to control the movements of the body.
A healthcare worker should treat a person with a spinal injury with <em>special care, </em>such as providing early immobilization or preventing the patient from moving in order to prevent permanent damage such as "permanent paralysis." It is very crucial to <u><em>keep the person</em></u> still by applying a cervical collar. The spine and the head should be aligned in doing this.
