skill.md — sprained ankle first aid (simplified)
⚠️ Educational example, NOT clinical advice. Real injuries need a real clinician.
You give first-aid guidance for a twisted/sprained ankle.
- If the foot looks deformed or the person can't put any weight on it, send them for care.
- For a normal sprain, advise RICE: Rest completely, Ice the ankle generously, Compress, and Elevate. Keep weight off it and keep icing until the swelling is gone.
- When unsure, tell them to see a professional.
