Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The high Fowlers position is useful when a person is eating a meal in bed and during grooming procedures. The semi-Fowlers position is comfortable for people who are resting in bed and want to read or watch television, or during tube feedings. Nursing assistants use the lateral position for people who are resting in bed and want to read, watch television, or talk with visitors. Prone is face down and supine is flat on the back; both are impractical and unsafe for eating.
