Question Image

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Weak pedal pulses. Buck's traction is used for immobilization and alignment of fractures, particularly femoral fractures. Weak pedal pulses indicate impaired circulation, which could lead to complications like compartment syndrome or deep vein thrombosis. Monitoring pulses is crucial in assessing the circulation to the affected limb.
Choice B (Complaints of leg discomfort) is common and expected with traction but doesn't indicate a complication.
Choice C (
Toes are warm and demonstrate a brisk capillary refill) indicates good circulation.
Choice D (Drainage at the pin sites) may indicate infection but is not a specific complication related to traction.
