Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'Fowler's position': Fowler's position is a standard patient position used in medical settings. It involves the patient lying on their back with the head of the bed elevated at an angle between 45 and 60 degrees. This position is commonly used to improve breathing and comfort.

Analyze the options provided: Carefully read each option and compare it to the definition of Fowler's position. Eliminate options that do not match the description of the patient lying on their back with the head of the bed elevated.

Focus on the correct posture: The correct posture in Fowler's position is not lying flat on the stomach, not lying flat on the back with arms at the sides, and not sitting upright with legs dangling off the bed. Instead, it involves lying on the back with the upper body elevated at an angle.

Consider the clinical relevance: Fowler's position is often used for patients with respiratory issues, as it helps facilitate lung expansion and ease of breathing. It is also used for comfort during feeding or other activities.

Select the correct answer: Based on the definition and clinical relevance, the correct answer is the description that matches the patient lying on their back with the head of the bed elevated at 45-60 degrees.
