While checking on students who are caring for patients on an orthopedic unit, a nursing instructor would be most concerned if

1. A student assists a patient with a left hip replacement turn to the left side.
2. A student caring for a patient with a right knee replacement assists with continuous passive motion (CPM).
3. A student is noted inserting an abduction pillow between the legs of a patient with right hip replacement.
4. A student uses sterile technique to provide site care to tongs for a patient with cervical traction.

Question 2

A nurse is assisting in the discharge of a patient who had a right hip replacement. Additional teaching is necessary if the patient states:

1. I will need an extender to pick things up from the floor.
2. I should keep a wide stance when I walk with my walker.
3. I will have to bend way over to tie my shoes.
4. I have to keep this special pillow between my legs when I'm sleeping.
