DMassage the arms and legs to restore circulation.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Massage the arms and legs to restore circulation. This is because massaging the arms and legs is not a recommended treatment for traumatic shock. The proper treatments for traumatic shock are to have the injured person lie down, keep them warm but not hot, and relieve the pain of the injury. Massaging the limbs can actually be harmful, as it may worsen bleeding or internal injuries. The other answer choices (A, B, and C) are all appropriate first aid measures for someone in traumatic shock.
