Can a replacement iPhone be set up as a new device on iTunes?

The phone is an iPhone 5 which is a warranty replacement unit with the old phones sim card. I want to pass it on to a family member when I get a new iPhone 6 next week. I'd like the person to be able to set the old iPhone up as they like, and sync the new iPhone 6 to my old iPhone 5's library/apps/etc.

Is this possible?

Am I overthinking this? Is that why there's no response?

Do I just set it up like a new device and synch my old phones file to my new one next week? The sim card has no bearing on the situation?

A replacement phone is exactly like a new phone

Take the old sim out, put in their new sim. Let them set up as their own new device.
