A client who had a left above knee amputation (AKA) two days ago has a soft stump dressing in place. To prevent the development of a contracture on the left leg, which intervention should the nurse implement?

A. Positioning the client prone 3 to 4 times a day helps stretch the hip flexor muscles and prevent hip flexion contractures, which are common after above-knee amputations. B. Elevating the stump on two pillows at all times can encourage hip flexion contracture formation and should be avoided after the initial postoperative period. C. Turning to the unaffected side only limits mobility, increases risk for pressure injuries, and does not specifically prevent contractures. D. Pushing the stump against a soft pillow is a form of stump conditioning for prosthesis preparation but does not address contracture prevention.
