c) Supine position
d) Left lateral position

Answer 1

The nurse would assist the client with acute pancreatitis into the Fowler's position to ease the abdominal pain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse would assist the client with acute pancreatitis into the Fowler's position to ease the abdominal pain.

This position helps to relieve pressure on the abdomen and allows for better digestion and breathing.
