The nurse would recognize the need for additional teaching in a patient after posterior hip replacement when observing which activity?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After a posterior hip replacement, the patient should use an elevated toilet seat to prevent hip flexion beyond 90 degrees. Using a regular-height toilet seat can place excessive stress on the new hip joint and increase the risk of dislocation. The use of an abductor pillow, keeping the affected leg upright, and using the arms to push up out of bed while keeping the operative leg straight are all appropriate postoperative activities.
