Rationale for Correct Choices • Pain medication: Fractures cause pain due to bone and soft tissue injury. Administering analgesics helps manage discomfort, improves cooperation with care, and facilitates movement and participation in activities as tolerated. Pain control also reduces stress responses that can interfere with healing. • Limb immobilization: Nondisplaced midshaft fractures of the radius and ulna require immobilization using a cast or splint to maintain proper alignment, prevent further injury, and promote bone healing. Immobilization also supports neurovascular protection and decreases the risk of displacement. Rationale for Incorrect Choices • Skin traction: Skin traction is typically used for femur or lower limb fractures, not isolated forearm fractures, and is unnecessary for nondisplaced radius and ulna fractures. • Antibiotics: The fracture is closed and nondisplaced, with no open wound or infection, so prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated. • Surgical consultation: Surgery is usually reserved for displaced, unstable, or complex fractures. This nondisplaced fracture can be managed conservatively with immobilization. • Bed rest: While rest is important, strict bed rest is unnecessary for upper extremity fractures. The child can perform limited activities while the arm is immobilized.
