The most common injury that needs RICE is an ankle sprain or foot injury, or injury to a knee. Wrists and elbows are also common injury sites. A shoulder or a hip can be injured during a fall, BUT RATHER THAN elevation, these joints need to be kept in natural alignment. Patients with an injury to a rotating joint need to be stabilized, assessed, and typically transported to the ER by ambulance.

RICE stands for "Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation". That means:

  1. Rest - do not use or bear weight on the injured part
  2. Ice - apply ice as soon as the injury occurs
  3. Compression - apply ace bandage (remember, it must not cut off circulation)
  4. Elevate - put a hurt arm or hand up on a pillow in the person's lap; put a leg or ankle up on pillows or footstool.
