When changing a diaper on a 2-day-old infant, the practical nurse (PN) observes that the baby's legs are flexed with limited abduction. Based on this finding, which action should the PN take next?

A. Document the finding in the record: Documentation is important but immediate provider notification is necessary for abnormal findings. B. Perform range of motion to the joint: Could cause injury if the infant has developmental dysplasia of the hip. C. Continue care since this is a normal finding: Limited abduction in newborns is not normal and requires evaluation. D. Notify the healthcare provider: Possible hip dysplasia; prompt reporting allows early intervention.
