Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is 24 hr postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Maintain abduction of the affected extremity. After a total hip arthroplasty, maintaining abduction of the affected extremity helps prevent dislocation of the hip prosthesis. This position helps stabilize the hip joint and reduces the risk of complications. Option B (Position the client in high Fowler's position) is incorrect as it does not directly address the postoperative care specific to a total hip arthroplasty. Option C (Encourage the client to cross their legs at the ankles) is incorrect because crossing legs can create pressure on the hip joint and increase the risk of dislocation. Option D (Have the client bend forward at the waist while sitting) is incorrect as this could also increase the risk of hip dislocation.
