Answer to Question 1

The ankle will be immobilized with the leg elevated above the patient's heart. Ice bags should be
applied to the ankle, and elastic wrap should be used to apply mild compression. (RICE: Rest, Ice,
Compression, Elevation)

Answer to Question 2

Pulses, pain (at rest or with movement), paresthesia, paralysis, pallor. Note swelling, discoloration
(bruising), range of motion.
