Question 1 of 5
Post total joint replacement, the patient needs for the joint to heal prior to sexual activity. What position is best for the patient after a total joint replacement of the hip?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Side-lying on the unaffected side is the safest position for hip replacement patients to avoid dislocating the affected hip. Lateral Sims position is not appropriate for this scenario. Reverse Trendelenburg position is not related to hip replacement precautions. The patient being on the bottom is not recommended for a hip replacement as it could cause stress on the joint.
