A school-age child who has respiratory failure due to pneumonia


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assisting with the care of a school-age child who has respiratory failure due to pneumonia. Which of the following positions should the nurse encourage to allow maximal lung expansion?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Upright. In an upright position, gravity helps to maximize lung expansion by allowing the diaphragm to descend fully. This position promotes better ventilation and oxygenation by reducing the pressure on the lungs. Supine (
B), prone (
C), and side-lying (
D) positions can limit lung expansion and compromise breathing mechanics. These positions may cause the abdominal contents to compress the lungs, reducing their ability to expand fully.
Therefore, encouraging the child to sit upright will optimize lung function and promote effective gas exchange.
