First aid

In a traffic accident, one must first assess the victim’s airways and stabilize the cervical spine (neck), immobilizing it. This action is very important because:

  1. holding the victim by the neck prevents struggling
  2. the head falls after the accident
  3. the neck is easy to reach, without having to remove clothing
  4. it prevents the person from becoming paraplegicCorrect answer!

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 (it prevents the person from becoming paraplegic). This question assesses First aid; this option directly satisfies the conditions in the prompt and road-safety rules. The other options broaden, narrow, or depart from those conditions and should not be selected. Under the current rule, the difficulty is 3 on a scale from 1 to 5.
