Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following total hip arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent dislocation of the prosthesis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Keep an abduction pillow between the client's legs. This position helps maintain proper alignment of the hip joint, preventing internal rotation and adduction that could lead to prosthesis dislocation.
Choice B may cause adduction of the hip, increasing the risk of dislocation.
Choice C does not provide the necessary support to prevent dislocation.
Choice D, raising the head of the bed, does not address the specific issue of hip dislocation.
