A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for an older adult client who is postoperative following a right hip arthroplasty. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

A. Encouraging the client to perform personal care as able promotes independence and prevents complications from immobility; performing all care is not necessary. B. Limiting fluid intake is not indicated postoperatively unless specifically ordered; adequate hydration supports recovery and prevents complications such as constipation or urinary tract infections. C. Maintaining abduction of the right hip using pillows or an abduction wedge prevents dislocation after hip arthroplasty, making this the correct intervention. D. Homan’s sign is not a reliable method for detecting deep vein thrombosis (DVT); instead, monitoring for swelling, pain, and redness is recommended.
