Explanation & Rationale
Limb immobilization (e.g., a cast or splint) is the standard treatment for a nondisplaced fracture of the radius and ulna to ensure proper alignment, promote healing, and prevent further injury. Pain medication is indicated to manage the child’s discomfort and improve tolerance of the immobilization. Surgical consultation or skin traction is typically reserved for displaced fractures or fractures with complications, which are not present in this case. Antibiotics are unnecessary unless there is an open fracture or risk of infection, and bed rest alone does not provide adequate stabilization for a forearm fracture.
