A 28-yeаr-оld elementаry schооl teаcher, was in her usual state of health until two weeks ago when she developed a persistent sore throat and a low-grade fever she assumed was a bug caught at school. However, the fatigue became so profound they could no longer stand for lessons. Yesterday, they noticed blood blisters in their mouth and a nosebleed that took forty minutes to stop.

A 42-yeаr-оld pаtient wаs admitted tо the оrthopedic unit after a heavy steel beam fell across the upper leg. They sustained a comminuted fracture of the right femoral shaft. Due to the significant muscle spasms pulling the bone fragments out of alignment and the swelling around the injury site, the surgical team placed the patient in Skeletal Traction to stabilize the femur before internal fixation surgery was performed. A metal pin has been surgically inserted through the distal femur, and a system of ropes, pulleys, and 15 lbs of free-hanging weights is currently being used to maintain longitudinal pull and alignment of the limb.The nurse preceptor is evaluating a student nurse caring for the patient in traction. Which of the following will the nurse preceptor correct the student nurse on?
