Following a bicycle accident, a 12-year-old client sustained a complete fracture of the left femur. He was placed in 90-90 skeletal traction with a pin in the distal end of the femur to achieve realignment and immobilization of the left femur. When providing nursing care, it is important for the nurse to remember that:

A The nurse may lift only the weights that are applying traction in order to reposition him in bed B The client will need special skin care at the pin site according to hospital policy or the physician's preference C The traction pull should result in an immediate increase in comfort and reduce the need for pain medication D The client should be discouraged from participating in self-care activities to avoid the risk of disrupting the traction
