Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Capillary refill in 3 seconds or less is determined to be indicative of adequate perfusion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Russell traction is skin traction, similar to Buck's, with a sling positioned under the knee, which prevents subluxation of the tibia. Although the traction interferes with full ROM, the patient can change position without disrupting the continuous pull in two directions.
