A. Amanda did not exercise while recovering.
B. Amanda used ice instead of heat to treat her injury.
C. Amanda applied pressure to the injured area.
D. Amanda received a massage after seeing her doctor

Respuesta :

D. Amanda received a massage after being her doctor

Answer:

C. Amanda applied pressure to the injured area.

Explanation:

Amanda most likely applied pressure to the injured area, which increased the internal bleeding.

An internal bleeding is most commonly treated with rest and professional control. By resting, the body will relax and absorb the blood, helping also to decrease the inflammation. The resting position must be comfortable, not applying any pressure around the injured zone, because that increases the blood pressure, and cause a faster bleeding, which at the same time can cause organs to fail, coma, or even death.
