Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"A","dropdown-group-2":"A"}

Pain Medication:

Fractures are painful, and pain management is essential for the child’s comfort and to prevent complications related to inadequate pain control.

Limb Immobilization:

Immobilization of the fractured arm (e.g., with a splint or cast) is necessary to promote proper alignment and healing of the nondisplaced fracture of the radius and ulna.

Incorrect Options:

Antibiotics: There is no indication of infection, such as an open fracture or systemic signs of infection, which would require antibiotics.

Surgical Consultation: A nondisplaced fracture typically does not require surgical intervention. Conservative treatment with immobilization is sufficient.

Bed Rest: This is not necessary for an isolated arm fracture, as the child can remain mobile.
