The nurse is caring for a 7-year-old after insertion of skeletal traction. Which of the following is contraindicated?

Rationale: A. Gentle massage over pressure areas can promote circulation and prevent skin breakdown, as long as it does not disturb the alignment. B. Releasing traction is contraindicated unless specifically ordered by the healthcare provider. Traction must be maintained at all times to ensure proper bone alignment and healing. C. Regular inspection of pin sites is essential for early detection of infection or complications. D. Frequent neurovascular assessments are necessary to monitor for complications such as impaired circulation or nerve damage.
