The patient underwent femoral skeletal traction surgery last month and has traction pins placed in his left femur with a 12 kg counterweight. He has limited mobility and requires assistance. The goals of nursing care are to prevent infection at the pin sites, promote increased mobility and independence with daily activities, and help the patient accept his physical limitations. Nurses will monitor his vital signs, assess the pin sites, teach skin care and exercises, and provide comfort while encouraging family support.
