What indicates that a parent understands care techniques for an infant in a Pavlik harness for hip dysplasia?

"I will ensure my baby wears regular diapers."
"I will place my infant's diapers under the harness straps."
"I can remove the harness for bath time."
"I need to check my infant’s legs daily for rashes."

The correct answer is: "I will place my infant's diapers under the harness straps."

The statement indicating the parent's understanding of care techniques for an infant in a Pavlik harness is focused on the necessity of proper diapering while ensuring the harness remains in place. By stating that the diapers will be placed under the harness straps, the parent demonstrates an understanding that the harness should remain secure and that the placement of diapers must accommodate the device without disrupting its function. This approach helps prevent irritation and potential complications that could arise from the harness shifting or becoming unbalanced due to improper diaper placement. It's vital for caregivers to adapt to the requirements of the harness to support hip stability and effective treatment for hip dysplasia while also considering the comfort and hygiene of the infant.
