Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The skin exposed to frequent friction may break down.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Buck's traction is a type of skin traction that relies on the child's weight as counterbalance. The child must be kept with head elevated no more than 20 degrees and pulled up in bed, and the feet should not touch the bed surface or the foot of the bed.
