Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for balanced skeletal traction with a Thomas splint for the treatment of a fractured femur. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement to prevent pressure points from developing around the edges of the splint?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Repositioning the client helps distribute pressure evenly, reducing the risk of pressure points around the splint edges. Removing weights disrupts traction, lotion may cause irritation, and a foot plate does not address splint pressure.
