Question

You enter the room to reposition JD if JD is supine, what side would you turn him to and why

Answer 1

POSITIONING.

Suitable positioning regularly and systematically helps the client to ease the disease and improve his circulation.

It is one of the important aspects in giving care for a client mostly those who are in bedridden.

• If the client is in supine position then next we can give position like
• LATERAL POSITION. because it is easy for the client to move.
• Lateral position gives a sense of wellbeing for the client.

Benefits of lateral position.

1. It helps to prevent aspiration of vomit.
2. Reduces the severity of GOR.
3. It helps to improve pulmonary gas exchange.
4. It helps to prevent morbidity.
5. Reduces decubitous ulcer.

I prefer left lateral position with comfort devices for JD
