A patient with hip injury would use what type of bed pan?

  1. Fracture bed pan

  2. Regular bed pan

  3. Specialized commode

  4. Urinal

The correct answer is: Fracture bed pan

A patient with a hip injury would use a fracture bed pan. This type of bed pan has a flat, thin design with a low front that is ideal for patients with limited mobility, such as those with hip injuries. The low front of the fracture bed pan allows for easier positioning and use without causing discomfort or further injury to the patient's hips. Regular bed pans may be too high and difficult for a patient with a hip injury to use comfortably. Specialized commodes are more suitable for patients who are able to bear some weight and transfer themselves to a toilet. Urinals are typically used for male patients who are unable to get out of bed to urinate.
