Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
There are many precautions clients need to take after hip replacement surgery, including not bending more than 90 degrees at the hips, continuing prescribed exercises, not crossing the legs, and washing the incision daily and patting it dry.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
For infection control (and to avoid tripping on it), the CPM machine is never placed on the floor. The other actions are appropriate.
