Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The orthopneic position is not a suitable position for performing deep-breathing and coughing exercises as this position is commonly used for patients with breathing difficulties such as congestive heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to increase lung capacity. The other positions listed (Fowler's, Semi-Fowler's, and sitting in a chair or dangling at the bedside) provide better support and comfort for the patient during the exercises.
