Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The orthopneic position may not be suitable for deep-breathing and coughing exercises as the person is sitting upright and leaning over a table or pillow, making it difficult for the diaphragm to expand. The other positions, including Fowler's position, Semi-Fowler's position, and sitting in a chair or dangling at the bedside, are suitable for these exercises as they allow for optimal lung expansion.
