When assessing a newborn for developmental dysplasia of the hip, the nurse would expect to assess which of the following:
  1. Symmetrical gluteal folds
  2. Trendelemburg sign
  3. Ortolani’s sign
  4. Characteristic limp
Explanation
Answer: C - It is the abnormal clicking sound when the hips are abducted. The sound is produced when the femoral head enters the acetabulum. Letter A is wrong because it should be “asymmetrical gluteal fold”. Letter B and C are not applicable for newborns because they are seen in older children.
