Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The orthopneic position involves sitting upright or leaning forward, which can help to ease breathing difficulties. This position helps to expand the chest and lung capacity for deeper breathing. The Fowler position (A) is a semi-sitting position which can also improve breathing, but not as much as the orthopneic position. The lithotomy position (B) is used for gynecological exams and surgeries, and the dorsal recumbent position (D) involves lying on the back with knees up and legs apart, and is not helpful for dyspnea.
