Question

________ position used to displace patient's abdominal organs caudad to provide better visualization of surgical site. (upper abdomen and the head and neck)

A) Trendelenburg
B) Reverse Trendelenburg
C) Fowler's
D) Lithotomy

Answer 1

The Reverse Trendelenburg position is used to displace patient's abdominal organs for better visualization of the upper abdomen and head and neck during surgery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The position used to displace patient's abdominal organs caudad to provide better visualization of the surgical site in the upper abdomen and the head and neck is the Reverse Trendelenburg position. This position involves having the patient lie on their back (supine) with the head of the bed elevated so that the body is tilted with the head higher than the feet. It is the opposite of the Trendelenburg position, where the body is titled with the feet higher than the head. Neither the Fowler's nor the Lithotomy position is designed to displace the abdominal organs for surgical visualization of the upper abdomen and head and neck area.
