Which sequence correctly describes folding a triangular bandage into a narrow bandage?

• A. Fold tip to base; fold in half to narrow; fold in half again to broaden
• B. Fold tip to base; unfold; wrap around
• C. Fold tip of triangle to base; Fold in half again to make broad bandage; Fold in half again to make narrow bandage
• D. Fold along the middle and wrap around

Answer: (C)

The idea is to turn a triangular bandage into a long, narrow wrap by folding along its center toward the base. Start by folding the tip of the triangle toward the base to align the edges and create a longer, thinner strip. Then fold that strip in half again, which makes a broader bandage piece that's easier to handle as you prepare to wrap. Finally fold once more in half to produce a narrow bandage ready for wrapping around a limb or securing a dressing. This sequence intentionally builds the narrow width needed, whereas the other options either don’t create the long narrow strip or skip the progressive folds.
