The nurse is caring for a child in Bryant skin traction. An appropriate nursing intervention for this child would be to
1. Remove the adhesive traction straps daily to prevent skin breakdown.
2. Check the traction frequently to ensure that proper alignment is maintained.
3. Place the child in a prone position to maintain good alignment.
4. Move the child as infrequently as possible to maintain traction.

2... The traction apparatus should be checked frequently to ensure that proper alignment is maintained. The adhesive straps should not be removed. The child should be placed in a supine position, and frequent repositioning is necessary to prevent complications of immobility.
