Answer»

The correct choice is (b) 2 weeks

For explanation: After a person has suffered from a fracture, it is RECOMMENDED to REST for at least 2 weeks. In this period, the injury should ideally have no movement at all. After 2 weeks, simple WEIGHT bearing activities are done and eventually, normal functioning is recovered. Normally, it takes well over 2 months for even a simple fracture to HEAL completely but simple activities with the HELP of assistive devices can be started after 2 weeks of rest.
