Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A side-lying position is likely to be the most comfortable for an 85-year-old resident, as it will allow them to rest on their side while receiving the back massage. The supine position (lying on their back) may be uncomfortable due to pressure on the spine, while Fowler's position (semi-sitting) or Sims' position (lying on their side with one leg flexed) may also cause discomfort or difficulty for an older adult.
