Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Therapeutic positioning of the neonate includes a neutral or slightly flexed neck and the trunk slightly rounded with the pelvis tilted and hips partially flexed and adducted to near midline. The elbows should be flexed, not extended, and the hands should be brought to the face or midline as the position allows, not by the side.
