Which actions should you take for a victim with a suspected spinal injury?

For a victim with a suspected spinal injury, the most appropriate action is to call for emergency medical services and stabilize the victim's head. This approach is vital because spinal injuries can lead to severe complications, including paralysis, if the spine is further damaged during movement. By holding the victim's head, you help prevent any unnecessary movement that could exacerbate the injury, while also keeping them in the position they were found.

The other options are not appropriate for managing a suspected spinal injury. Asking the victim to stand could cause them to fall or move in a way that worsens their condition. Moving the victim to a safe area could result in additional injury to the spine, as any movement poses a risk of damaging the spinal cord further. Providing warm blankets may be supportive for comfort, but it doesn't address the immediate needs of a spinal injury, which prioritize stabilization and prevention of movement until professional help arrives.
