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?

A. Foam mattress pad: A foam mattress pad provides comfort and reduces pressure, but it does not prevent external rotation of the hips. Its primary function is pressure redistribution rather than alignment support. B. Draw sheet: A draw sheet is used to assist with repositioning and transferring clients safely. While it aids mobility, it does not maintain proper hip alignment or prevent external rotation. C. Trapeze bar: A trapeze bar allows the client to assist with repositioning and upper body mobility. It does not stabilize the hips or prevent external rotation. D. Trochanter rolls: Trochanter rolls are placed along the lateral aspects of the thighs to maintain hip alignment and prevent external rotation. They provide structural support to keep the hips in proper position, particularly in clients who are supine or immobilized.
