Question 1 of 5
A 1-month-old infant is seen in a clinic and is diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). On assessment, the nurse understands that which finding would be noted in this condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A: Limited range of motion in the affected hip
Rationale: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is characterized by abnormal development of the hip joint. Limited range of motion in the affected hip is a common finding due to instability and malformation of the joint. Infants with DDH may have reduced hip abduction or uneven leg lengths.
Summary of other choices:
B: Symmetry of the gluteal skinfolds when the infant is placed prone and the legs are extended - Incorrect. In DDH, asymmetry of gluteal skinfolds is typically seen due to hip joint abnormalities.
C: Negative Barlow test - Incorrect. A positive Barlow test indicates instability of the hip joint, which is often seen in DDH.
D: Unaffected leg is pale and cool - Incorrect. This finding is not associated with DDH and may indicate other vascular or neurological issues.
