A nurse is caring for a client with a new hip fracture and the nursing intervention which is most appropriate for minimizing muscle spasms is maintaining Buck's traction.

Buck's traction decreases pain, muscle spasm, and external rotation by immobilizing the hip fracture.

Steps for traction care are:-

Ensure that the traction weight bag is hanging freely, the bag should not rest on the bed or the ground.

If the rope becomes frayed replace them.

The rope should be within in the pulley tracks.

Ensure the bandages are free from wrinkles.

Tilt the bed a little to maintain counter traction.
