Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing a child for a lumbar puncture. In which of the following positions should the child be placed for the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Lateral. Placing the child in the lateral position allows for better visualization of the landmarks needed for a lumbar puncture. This position helps to open up the spaces between the vertebrae, making it easier to access the lumbar region. The prone position (
A) would not provide adequate access, the supine position (
C) may not allow for proper alignment of the spine, and the semi-Fowler's position (
D) would not be ideal for this procedure. Additionally, the lateral position minimizes the risk of complications during the lumbar puncture procedure.
