Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When applying a sling, the apex of the triangle should be placed towards the elbow, and the opposite end should be brought around the affected arm and over the shoulder. This provides support and immobilization for the injured arm. Option A and C are incorrect because the wrist is not the appropriate point to place the apex of the sling. Option D is incorrect because the anchor should be at the unaffected side of the neck, not the back of the neck.
