Answer:

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 central nervous system. 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 special care, 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 keep the person still by applying a cervical collar. The spine and the head should be aligned in doing this.
