Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The blood can cause temporary pain and stiffness in the surrounding structures. For example, shoulder fractures can bruise the entire arm and cause pain in the elbow and wrist. Pain, as well as the fracture itself, often prevents a person from moving the fractured part normally.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since our bones, especially the long bones in our arms and legs, have a rich blood supply, a broken bone injury can result in excessive bleeding. For example, a bone fracture of the thigh bone (femur) can result in 1-2 liters of blood loss.

Detailed explanation-3: -Symptoms of a broken bone include: A visibly out-of-place or misshapen limb or joint. Swelling, bruising, or bleeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pelvic, hip and long bones are highly vascular and fracture can result in significant bleeding.

Detailed explanation-5: -If it is an open fracture, cover the wound with a sterile dressing or a clean non-fluffy cloth. Apply pressure around the wound and not over the protruding bone, to control any bleeding. Then secure the dressing with a bandage. Advise the casualty to keep still while you support the injured part to stop it from moving.
