Question 1 of 5
The patient is post-op day 1 of a right total hip replacement. What precautions are necessary to prevent complications? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: An adductor pillow helps maintain proper alignment and prevents the hip from crossing the midline (adduction). Limiting hip flexion to 90 degrees prevents dislocation by avoiding positions that could stress the hip joint. A fracture pan is not a necessary precaution for a total hip replacement; it is more relevant for clients with fractures. Adduction should be avoided to prevent the hip from dislocating. Internal rotation can cause the hip to dislocate, so it should be avoided.
