    HESI LPN EXIT TEST 11 PROCTORED EXAM

    The practical nurse (PN) assists a client to a supine position. What should the PN use to prevent external rotation of the client's hips?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Foam mattress pad - Foam mattress pads primarily provide cushioning and pressure relief, not specifically designed to prevent hip rotation. B. Trapeze bar - Trapeze bars assist with mobility but do not directly prevent hip rotation. C. Trochanter rolls - These are specifically designed to prevent external rotation of the hips by supporting the thighs, aiding in maintaining proper hip alignment. D. Draw sheet - While useful for repositioning and transferring patients, a draw sheet doesn't prevent hip rotation when the patient is in a supine position
