Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing an infant with developmental dysplasia of the hip. Which finding would the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), one of the key findings is unequal leg length. This occurs due to the dislocation of the hip joint, where the ball is loose in the socket. Limited adduction, the inability to bring the hip and knee towards the midline of the body, is also a common finding in DDH. Diminished femoral pulses are not typically associated with DDH, as it primarily affects the skeletal structure rather than vascular supply. Symmetrical gluteal folds are normal in infants and do not indicate DDH, as asymmetry in gluteal folds can be a sign of hip dislocation.
