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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Place the diaper under the straps of the harness. This instruction is essential to prevent skin irritation or breakdown caused by friction between the harness straps and the infant's skin. Placing the diaper under the straps acts as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of skin issues. Adjusting the length of the straps once a week (choice
A) is not necessary as long as the harness fits properly. Breastfeeding the infant while wearing the harness (choice
B) is unrelated to the care of the harness. Removing the harness when bathing the infant (choice
D) is incorrect as the harness should be worn continuously, as instructed by the healthcare provider.
