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?

Explanation: The Pavlik harness is a device used to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants. It helps position the hips in a way that promotes proper hip joint development. By keeping the hips in a flexed and abducted position, the harness helps to align the hip joint properly, allowing for normal development. A- Applying lotion under the straps of the harness is not recommended as it can interfere with the harness's effectiveness and may cause skin irritation. B- The harness should not be removed for sleeping unless specifically instructed by the healthcare provider. It is typically worn continuously to ensure consistent hip positioning and optimal treatment outcomes. D- Placing the diaper over the strap of the harness is not recommended as it can cause discomfort for the infant and may interfere with the proper fit and function of the harness. The diaper should be placed under the harness straps to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
