Question 1 of 5
The Sims' position is MOST similar to the ________ position.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is 'lateral.' The Sims' position is characterized by the patient lying on their side with the upper knee flexed and the upper arm positioned in front of the body. This is similar to the lateral position where the patient is also lying on their side. The prone position (choice
A) is when the patient lies face down, the supine position (choice
C) is when the patient lies face up, and Fowler's position (choice
D) is a seated position with the head of the bed elevated at a 45-90 degree angle.
Therefore, the lateral position is the most similar to the Sims' position as both involve the patient lying on their side.
