While Installing Christmas Lights on His Rooftop, Matt Fell from the Staircase

While installing Christmas lights on his rooftop, Matt fell from the staircase and sustained a fractured femur. He was placed in a balance skeletal traction with a Thomas splint. To prevent pressure points from occurring around the top of the splint, the most important intervention is to:

A) Protect the skin with lotion
B) Keep the client pulled up in bed
C) Pad the top of the splint with washcloths
D) Provide a footplate in the bed
