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 when teaching the parents about the Pavlik harness?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D - Place the diaper under the straps of the harness

Rationale: Placing the diaper under the straps of the Pavlik harness helps to prevent skin irritation and pressure sores by creating a barrier between the straps and the infant's skin. This ensures comfort and proper fit of the harness without causing any harm or discomfort to the infant.

Summary of other choices:
A: Removing the Pavlik harness when bathing the infant is incorrect as the harness should be worn continuously to effectively treat DDH.
B: Adjusting the length of the straps once a week is unnecessary as the harness is designed to maintain a specific position for the hip joint.
C: Massaging the infant's skin under the straps twice a day may cause discomfort and disrupt the proper positioning of the harness.
E, F, G: No information provided for these choices.
