Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trochanter rolls are placed along the sides of the client's body to prevent external rotation of the hips and legs. This is often done to prevent dislocation or injury in clients who are bedridden or have limited mobility. Trochanter rolls do not prevent plantar flexion, contractures in the hand, or the mattress from sagging.
