Fractured Bed
The first 3 steps
- Confirm the type of fracture, the traction ordered and the surgeon’s instructions.
- Place fracture boards under the mattress to give a firm, non-sagging surface.
- Make the bed with the bottom sheet in two halves where a limb is in traction, so linen can be changed without disturbing it.
