Sitting on the side of the bed stabilizes the redistribution of the blood during the position change.Deep breathing helps lung expansion but does not affect the change in the blood distribution during position changes.Pushing up from the side of the bed helps the patient transition to standing,but it doesn't prevent orthostatic hypotension.There are many muscles throughout the body that cannot be stretched voluntarily.
