This should be done first to prevent further injury and movement of the fractured bone, reducing pain and avoiding potential complications. Immobilization helps stabilize the fracture site and promote proper healing. Administering pain medication (choice
A) should come after immobilization to ensure the client's comfort. Applying a warm compress (choice
