A nurse is delegating the task of repositioning a client who is in skeletal traction to an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the AP? Allow the weights to hang freely. Release the tension of the ropes. O Remove the weights when rewrapping bandages. Manually lift the weights when moving the client up in bed.

Explanation / Answer

The answer to the following questions is B. allow the weights to hang freely.

This is due to the fact that the weights are set with regards to the severity of the injury and therefore, should not be moved or removed without the proper consent of a doctor. While there is a transfer to an assistive person, it needs to be kept in mind that the weights are let to remain suspended and not removed.
