Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a liver biopsy. In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client immediately following the procedure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Right lateral. Placing the client in a right lateral position post-liver biopsy helps prevent bleeding or hemorrhage by exerting pressure on the biopsy site, aiding in hemostasis. This position also reduces the risk of complications such as pneumothorax. Placing the client in a prone position (
A) could increase the risk of bleeding. Trendelenburg position (
B) may increase intra-abdominal pressure and the risk of bleeding. High-Fowler's position (
C) is not ideal for post-liver biopsy care as it does not provide the necessary pressure to the biopsy site.
