مريض عنده ألم أسفل الظهر حاد منذ ٤ أيام بعد مجهود، بدون علامات إنذار. أي نصيحة صحيحة؟

A client has had acute low back pain for 4 days after exertion, with no red flags. Which advice is correct?

1. Immediate MRI for every case
2. Strict bed rest for two weeks
3. Stay as active as possible with simple analgesia
4. Avoid walking completely until pain resolves

Answer: C) Stay as active as possible with simple analgesia. Most acute back pain improves within weeks; staying active beats bed rest, and imaging is not routine without red flags.
