(1 point)
O applying honey to the scrape
• attaching leeches to bleed the scrape
amputating the arm that was scraped
using hot iron to burn the scrape closed

Answer 1

The treatment that ancient Egyptian physicians would most likely have prescribed to prevent the scrape from becoming infected would be **applying honey to the scrape**. Honey has natural antibacterial properties and was commonly used in ancient medical practices for wound treatment. The other options are less likely to have been used for this purpose.
