Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale: 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.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale: The brace should be checked two or three times for red areas under the straps.Lotion or powder can contribute to skin breakdown. A light layer of clothing should be under the brace,not over. The diaper should also be under the brace.
