Group of answer choices
A.Protecting the client's skin integrity by padding bony prominences
B.Placing the client supine to maximize respiratory status
C.Keeping the client cool to prevent operative hyperthermia
D.Supporting the neck and head to prevent postoperative neck pain
Homework Answers
Answer is B.Placing the client supine to maximize respiratory status.
For abdominal surgery, a patient should be in supine position because it will help in the respiration and ease to do surgery in the abodominal area. So the action in priority by the nurses should be to position the patient in the supine position.
