Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deconditioning refers to the deterioration of physical fitness and strength due to inactivity or prolonged bedrest. It is a common risk for individuals on bedrest with bathroom privileges, but it is not directly related to positional changes from lying to sitting or standing. Dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, and syncope are all potential risks for individuals transitioning from a lying to a sitting or standing position due to changes in blood pressure and blood flow.
