Question 5 of 5
A patient with ARDS is being mechanically ventilated. The physician has ordered prone positioning. What is the primary reason for this intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Prone positioning helps recruit collapsed alveoli by redistributing ventilation to dependent lung regions, improving oxygenation in ARDS. It enhances lung homogeneity and reduces stress on the dorsal lung regions. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because prone positioning primarily aims to optimize oxygenation by improving lung ventilation and perfusion, rather than solely reducing diaphragm workload, enhancing perfusion to anterior lung segments, or mobilizing secretions.
