o Assess for changes in elimination and maintain usual patterns of elimination.
o Ensure that all hardware is tight and that the bed is in the correct position.

the pulley. Do not lift or remove weights unless prescribed and supervised by the

o Consult with the provider for an overbed trapeze to assist the client to move in
bed.
o Provide range of motion and encourage activity of nonimmobilized extremities to
maintain mobility and prevent contractures.
o Encourage deep breathing and use if the incentive spirometry.
o Promote frequent position changes within restriction of traction.
