    The player has incurred a contusion or bruise. The basic treatment will be to follow the RICE protocol - resting the injured area, applying ice to reduce swelling for 15-20 minutes several times per day with a cloth barrier, compressing the area with a wrap to reduce swelling without restricting circulation, and elevating the area above the level of the heart. This treatment focuses on managing symptoms as the contusion heals over the course of a few days to months depending on severity.

    1) Assess what type of injury the player will incur.


    CONTUSION
    2) based on your assessment, what basic treatment that you will going to apply? Elaborate
    your answer.
    Most contusions simply need time to heal.
    Soft tissue contusions can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to
    heal. Bone contusions may take longer — usually a couple of months — depending
    on how severe the injury is.
    For either type of bruise, you can use the RICE protocol as you recover to help
    manage your symptoms.

    RICE stands for:


    • Rest. Rest the area whenever possible.
    • Ice. Apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling. You can do this for 15 to
    20 minutes at a time, several times a day. You must always put a cloth between the
    compress or ice and your skin. Skin in direct contact with any cold source can quickly
    develop an ice burn or frostbite.
    • Compress. Compress the bruised area with a wrap or bandage to reduce swelling.
    Just make sure you don’t wrap it so tight that it starts to affect your circulation.
    • Elevate. If possible, raise the affected area above your heart. This can help to drain
    blood from the injured area
