An infant with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) using a Pavlik harness.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a provider's office is caring for an infant who has developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The nurse should include which of the following instructions in the teaching plan for the parents about the Pavlik harness?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Answer D is correct because it is essential to regularly check the infant's skin under the harness for signs of redness or irritation. This is crucial in preventing skin breakdown or pressure ulcers, which can occur due to prolonged pressure from the harness. Regular skin checks ensure early detection of any issues, allowing for timely intervention.


Choice A is incorrect because the harness should not be removed when bathing the infant to maintain proper positioning and treatment effectiveness.
Choice B is incorrect as adjusting the straps without professional guidance can lead to improper harness fit and potentially worsen the condition.
Choice C is incorrect as placing clothing under the straps can create friction and increase the risk of skin irritation.
