What is used for residents who cannot assist with raising their hips onto a bedpan?

Fracture pan
Urinal
Portable commode
Toilet

The correct answer is: Fracture pan

The use of a fracture pan is particularly designed for residents who have limited mobility and cannot assist with raising their hips onto a bedpan. This specialized type of bedpan is smaller and has a thinner profile, making it easier for individuals who might be in pain or have difficulty moving their hips, usually due to a fracture or surgical procedure. Its design ensures that those with limited range of motion or physical impairments can use it without excessive discomfort or difficulty, promoting dignity and comfort for the resident. In contrast, the other options, such as a urinal, portable commode, or regular toilet, either require more mobility or are not suited for individuals who specifically cannot assist with positioning themselves due to their condition.
