Answer 1

Supine with the backboard tilted to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pregnancy period is also known as gestation period, the development of the offspring inside the womb. The pregnancy is divided into the different trimester periods.

A pregnant female has fallen down a flight of steps. The lady should be supine with the back board must be tilted to the left as this position reduces her dizziness. This position helps the female to relax and provide protection to both the mother and the offspring. More oxygen will be available to the female.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
