When performing a skin traction assessment, the OT notices skin blisters forming beneath the foam traction boot. The most appropriate action is to:
-
A
Remove the traction and notify the physician to reassess the treatment plan
-
B
Pop the blisters, apply antibiotic ointment, and reapply traction
-
C
Pad the blisters and continue traction at reduced weight
-
D
Do nothing unless the patient reports pain
