Question 1 of 5
The experienced nurse observes the new nurse caring for the client who is in skeletal traction to stabilize a proximal femur fracture prior to surgery. Which observation by the experienced nurse indicates the new nurse needs additional orientation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: C. Weights should be hanging freely, but weights should never be removed (unless a life-threatening situation occurs) because removal could result in injury and defeats the purpose of the traction. The lengths of the ropes need to be adjusted so the weights do not rest on the bed frame.
