A nurse is caring for an adolescent who has a lower extremity fracture. Which of the following types of skin traction should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe?

A. Bryant: Bryant traction is used primarily in children under 2 years old or weighing less than 12 kg (26.5 lb) with femoral fractures or congenital hip dysplasia. It involves elevating both legs vertically, which is not suitable for adolescents. B. Buck extension: Buck extension traction is a type of skin traction commonly used for adolescents with lower extremity fractures. It keeps the leg extended and immobile, helping to reduce pain and muscle spasms before surgery or casting. C. Dunlop: Dunlop traction is used for upper extremity fractures, particularly the humerus, and is not appropriate for lower extremity injuries. D. Cervical skin: Cervical skin traction is used for neck injuries or cervical spine disorders, not for lower extremity fractures.
