What should you do with a victim who probably broke his leg in an accident?

Explanation

Correct answer: I should temporarily immobilize the fracture by tying both legs together and wait for the ambulance.

In the event of a suspected lower limb fracture, the primary action is to immobilise it to prevent further damage. Using the uninjured leg as a natural stabilising splint is a correct temporary measure that restricts the movement of bone fragments and minimises pain. After securing the casualty in this manner, it is essential to wait for the arrival of qualified medical services, who will provide specialised medical assistance.
