Child in skeletal traction.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take when caring for a child in skeletal traction?
Correct Answer: E,F,G
Rationale: The correct actions for caring for a child in skeletal traction are E, F, and G. Assessing the child's neurovascular status regularly is crucial to ensure proper circulation and nerve function in the affected limb. Monitoring for signs of infection at the traction site is essential to prevent complications. Administering pain medication as needed helps manage discomfort and promote healing.
Choices A, B, C, and D are incorrect. The child should not bear weight on the affected limb to prevent further injury. Traction should not be removed periodically as it disrupts the treatment. Moving the affected limb frequently can interfere with the traction's purpose of immobilizing the limb for proper healing. Participating in physical activities can be harmful and counterproductive to the traction process.
