Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a 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 the client's legs abducted. Abducting the legs helps to prevent dislocation of the prosthesis by keeping the hip joint stable in the correct position. This position decreases the risk of the prosthesis popping out of place. Placing the client in a supine position with legs flat (
B) can increase the risk of dislocation as it can cause internal rotation of the hip joint. Encouraging early ambulation within 24 hours (
C) is beneficial for circulation and preventing complications but does not directly prevent dislocation. Applying a heating pad to the surgical site (
D) can increase blood flow but does not address prosthesis dislocation.
