Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the body alignment of a standing patient. Which finding will the nurse report as normal?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a reversed S pattern alignment of the spinal curves when observed laterally indicates normal body alignment in a standing position. This alignment helps distribute weight evenly and maintain balance.
Choice A is incorrect as an 'S' pattern alignment of the hips and shoulders is not normal.
Choice C is incorrect as crossed arms do not relate to body alignment.
Choice D is incorrect as feet close together with toes pointed out can indicate an abnormal alignment causing instability.
