Practice Question
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of an infant who has a Pavlik harness. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"The harness can be removed for sleeping each night.”
Rationale:
🍼 The Pavlik harness is used to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) by maintaining the infant’s hips in a flexed and abducted position.
🍼 This alignment helps the femoral head remain properly seated in the acetabulum, allowing the hip joint to develop normally over time.
🍼 Parents should be reassured that the device is non-invasive, and when used correctly, it significantly reduces the need for surgical intervention.
🍼 The harness should remain in place continuously as prescribed, including during sleep, and adjustments should be done only by healthcare providers.
🍼 The nurse should emphasize that the goal is to support proper bone growth and joint stability during the early stages of musculoskeletal development.
