Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient whose right leg is in Buck's traction. Which interventions should the nurse implement to promote the patient's mobility? Which intervention promotes mobility in Buck's traction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Rationale: Performing active range-of-motion exercises on the left leg promotes mobility in Buck's traction by maintaining muscle strength and joint flexibility, preventing muscle atrophy, and improving circulation. This helps prevent complications and supports eventual rehabilitation. Passive range of motion exercises on the right leg are not recommended as it may cause discomfort. Isometric exercises on both legs may not address the specific immobilization of the right leg. Log rolling every 2 hours is not directly related to promoting mobility in Buck's traction.
