A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a liver biopsy.
Question 1 of 5
In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client immediately following the procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Right lateral. Placing the client in the right lateral position immediately following a procedure helps prevent aspiration of secretions or blood, as gravity assists in drainage from the airway. Trendelenburg position (
A) is used to increase venous return but is not appropriate post-procedure. Prone position (
B) is lying face down and may obstruct airway patency. High-fowlers position (
D) is sitting upright at a 90-degree angle, which is not ideal for immediate post-procedure care.
