Title: The home health nurse suggests to the patient who has had a total hip replacemen Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014 The home health nurse suggests to the patient who has had a total hip replacement that to protect the new joint, the patient should:
1. put an extension on the toilet seat. 2. keep the legs crossed when at rest. 3. change positions from side to side frequently. 4. slowly pull the knee to the chest twice a day to stretch the hip abductors. This is for my medical nursing class Title: Re: The home health nurse suggests to the patient who has had a total hip replacemen Post by: Aki on Sep 27, 2014 ANS: 1
Placing an extender on the toilet seat will assist in the objective of not flexing the hip more than 90 degrees. Crossing the legs adducts the hip, which is also contraindicated.
