Question

The patient asks the MA to position a patient on the exam table so that the patient can breathe more easily. What is the most appropriate position?

1) Dorsal recumbent
2) Jackknife
3) Lithotomy
4) Semi fowlers
5) E-Trendelbergs

Answer 1

The most appropriate position for a patient to breathe more easily on an exam table is the Semi fowlers position.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most appropriate position for a patient to breathe more easily on an exam table is the Semi fowlers position. In this position, the patient is positioned with the head and upper body elevated at a 30-45 degree angle. This helps to open up the airways and improve breathing. The other positions mentioned in the options are not specifically related to improving breathing.
