Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After orthopedic leg surgery, mobility is often significantly limited, making it difficult for the patient to use a bedside commode or walk to the bathroom, even with help. A regular bedpan might not be suitable due to the discomfort and difficulty in positioning it under a patient with a recent leg surgery. A fracture bedpan, which is designed with a lower profile and is easier to slide under a patient with limited mobility, is the most appropriate choice for urinary elimination in this scenario.
