Answer to Question 1

D
The child is not turned from side to side, since this interferes with the traction. Weights should hang freely and not rest on a chair. The elastic bandages should not be too tight. The nurse should monitor the traction ropes and keep the body in alignment.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct: For hydrotherapy and debridement of a child's burn wound, the nurse will most help the child by medicating the child first. Hydrotherapy and debridement procedures are very painful and scary for all burn clients. Medication is essential prior to the procedures.
B Incorrect: For hydrotherapy and debridement of a child's burn wound, the nurse will not most help the child by moving swiftly and getting it done.
C Incorrect: For hydrotherapy and debridement of a child's burn wound, the nurse will not most help the child by asking the parents to leave. It is helpful if parents can be present to comfort and distract the child.
D Incorrect: Children who have an understanding of the procedure to be performed demonstrate less maladaptive behavior. However, medicating the child with adequate analgesia before the procedures will help most.
