A nurse is reinforcing teaching for with a client about healthful sleep habits. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client needs further instructions?

A. "Skeletal traction has less risk for infection than skin traction."

This statement is not accurate. Both skeletal and skin traction carry some risk of infection, but the risk factors and considerations are different for each. Skeletal traction involves pins or wires directly inserted into the bone, and while the risk of infection is present, it is not necessarily lower than that of skin traction.

B. "Clients in skin traction have more mobility than those in skeletal traction."

This statement is not accurate. Skeletal traction, involving the use of weights and pins or wires inserted into the bone, tends to provide more stable immobilization. Skin traction, which relies on external devices applied to the skin's surface, may allow for some limited mobility but is generally not as effective as skeletal traction.

C. "Skeletal traction is better than skin traction for reducing a fracture."

This is the correct statement. Skeletal traction is often more effective in providing a stable and controlled environment for reducing and immobilizing fractures.

D. "Clients in skin traction have more discomfort than those in skeletal traction."

This statement is not necessarily accurate. Discomfort can vary depending on the individual, the type of fracture, and other factors. Both skeletal and skin traction may cause some discomfort, and it's important to assess and manage the client's pain appropriately in either case.

A. Kidney beans

Kidney beans are a good plant-based source of protein. They contain essential amino acids, but plant-based proteins may lack some amino acids found in animal-based sources. While kidney beans contribute to protein intake, they are not considered the best source of protein for wound healing among the given options.

B. Grilled salmon

Grilled salmon is indicated as the best source of protein for wound healing among the options. Salmon is an animal-based source that provides high-quality protein with all essential amino acids. It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and can further support the healing process.

C. Peanut butter

Peanut butter is a source of protein, but it is also high in fats. While it can contribute to protein intake, it may not be as lean a source as grilled salmon. It's important to consider the overall nutritional profile when recommending it for wound healing.

D. Raw spinach

Spinach is a source of protein, but it is considered a plant-based protein. While it can contribute to overall protein intake, plant-based proteins may not provide as much protein per serving as animal-based sources like salmon. It also contains other nutrients, such as iron and vitamins, which are beneficial but not specifically highlighted for wound healing in this context.
