. Which patient positioning is best to promote lung expansion and reduce pressure on the diaphragm and What are some nursing concerns with this position?
Homework Answers
Fowler's position reduces the compression of the chest which occurs due to gravity.
There are 3 position angles in fowlers.There are 1.semi Fowler's which is of 30°. 2)fowlers-which is of 45° to 50°.
3)High Fowler's which is of 90°.
The semi Fowler's 45° is the best position to promote lung explanation and also reduces pressure on diaphrargm.
Some nursing concerns are the patient may slide from bed which may increase pressure on ulcers.

What are some guidelines related to positioning a patient? Select all that apply. A client who has had a craniotomy should be placed on the operative side. Clients with a respiratory or cardiovascular disorder are placed in semi-Fowler's or Fowler's position. Clients with a head injury are placed in semi-Fowler's or Fowler's position. Clients with peripheral venous disease are usually advised to elevate their feet and legs above heart level. Clients receiving a rectal enema are placed in the right...
