You are called to a local shopping mall for an elderly patient who fell. Upon your arrival, you find a 60-year-old female who stepped off a curb and injured her ankle. Her left ankle is swollen and is very painful. You should: 
A) Explain to the patient that her ankle is fractured and you must splint her ankle to prevent further injury and reduce pain.
B) Explain to the patient that her ankle is sprained and transport her with her ankle elevated on a pillow with a cold pack applied to the injury.
C) Explain to the patient that you won’t know what type of injury she has to her ankle until she is x-rayed at the emergency department, and splint the ankle.
D) Transport the patient immediately to a trauma center, applying high-flow oxygen enroute.
