Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a critical care unit is caring for a client who is postoperative following a right pneumonectomy. After extubation from the ventilator, in which of the following positions should the client be placed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: On the nonoperative side. Placing the client on the nonoperative side after a right pneumonectomy helps prevent the remaining lung from being compressed by the mediastinum, promoting optimal ventilation and oxygenation. Placing the client on the operative side could lead to decreased lung expansion and potential complications.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Sims position is used for rectal examinations, Semi-Fowler's position is a semi-upright sitting position, and Prone position is lying face down, none of which are optimal for post-operative care following a pneumonectomy.
