Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Fever. Infection at the pin sites in skeletal traction can lead to systemic signs such as fever. Fever is a common indicator of infection as the body responds to pathogens by increasing its temperature. Serosanguineous drainage, mild erythema, and warmth can be normal findings in the early stages of healing or due to inflammation, but fever indicates a more serious underlying issue like infection.
Therefore, the nurse should prioritize monitoring for fever to promptly identify and address any potential infection.
