Maintaining pin care. Correct Explanation: Pin care is a priority for a client with external fixation, because pin sites are entry points for infection. The nurse should also monitor redness, drainage, and tenderness at the site. Planning the client's diet and monitoring the client's urine output and blood pressure, although necessary, are not as important as maintaining pin care.
