    Study Notes

    Client Positioning in Physical Assessment

    • Multiple positions are required during physical assessment to prevent muscle discomfort, undue pressure, and damage to superficial nerves and blood vessels.

    Supine Position

    • The client lies on their back, either in bed or on a table, with their head supported.
    • This position facilitates respiration by allowing maximum chest expansion, particularly helpful for clients with exhalation problems.

    Prone Position

    • The client lies on their abdomen with their head turned to one side.
    • This position promotes drainage from the mouth and is useful for unconscious clients or those recovering from mouth or throat surgery.

    Lateral Position (Side-lying)

    • The client lies on one side of their body.

    Trendelenburg Position

    • The head of the bed is lowered and the foot is raised in a straight incline.
