An 8 year-old child is brought to the emergency room (ER) with a fractured right femur. The parents report that the child was playing baseball and while sliding into home plate, he collided with another player on the opposing team. The child requires surgery to repair the fracture. After surgery, the child will be in skeletal traction for two weeks and must remain on bedrest. Following skeletal traction, the child will be placed in a long leg cast.

Upon assessment, the vital signs are: Temp-37 C (98.6 F), pulse- 98 beats/minute, respirations-21 breaths/minute, and blood pressure-124/86 mm Hg. The child’s pain level is an “8” on a scale of 0-10. Swelling and bruising of the thigh is noted. An X-ray confirms the diagnosis. The child is frightened about going to the operating room.
