A newborn in a Pavlik harness for hip dysplasia.
Question 1 of 5
Which factor should the nurse include when teaching a parent about the care of a newborn in a Pavlik harness for hip dysplasia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The harness maintains the hips in flexion, abduction, and external rotation. This is because a Pavlik harness is specifically designed to keep the hips in the optimal position for treating hip dysplasia. Flexion helps keep the femoral head in the acetabulum, abduction helps stabilize the hip joint, and external rotation helps prevent hip dislocation.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The harness should not be removed frequently as it needs to be worn continuously for effective treatment.
C: The harness is often the primary treatment method for hip dysplasia in infants.
D: The duration of wearing the harness varies but is typically longer than 2 weeks.
