YOUR WEEKEND NCLEX TIP
After hip replacement surgery, the patient should avoid these three positions until fully recovered:
- Bending more than 90 degrees at the waist (for example, bending over to pick something up)
- Internally rotating the leg
- Adducting the legs (including crossing one’s legs)
The device seen above helps to prevent the latter two positions from occurring during sleep
