B. lateral and posterior aspects of the hip region will be tender on palpation.
C. being able to palpate the femoral head deep within the muscles of the buttock.

Answer 1

Signs and symptoms associated with hip dislocation include severe pain, tenderness in the hip region, and decreased resistance to joint movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hip dislocation is a condition in which the head of the femur comes out of the socket in the hip bone. Signs and symptoms associated with hip dislocation include severe pain in the hip, tenderness in the lateral and posterior aspects of the hip region on palpation, and decreased resistance to movement of the joint. The ability to palpate the femoral head deep within the muscles of the buttock is NOT a sign or symptom of hip dislocation.
