"Upon reaching the scene of an accident, I always consider safety the priority, and I would make sure that the victim is in a safe location before any treatment. If the patient is bleeding profusely, I will focus on controlling the bleeding while assessing their airway and breathing. Then, to treat the fracture and prepare for transport, my partner and I will splint the break and place them on the gurney. I will monitor their distal pulses and sensation throughout transport. If the patient is in a lot of pain and my protocols allow, I would start an IV and administer pain medication."

"After performing a scene size-up and ensuring the scene is safe, I would first treat any life-threatening injuries. Then, to treat the broken bone, I would apply the appropriate type of splint for the injury with the help of my partner. I would assess distal pulses and sensation before and after applying the splint and continue to monitor pulses en route. If local protocols allow and the patient has no allergies to pain medication, I would consider administering pain medication if the patient is in considerable pain."
