Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The backs of the person's knees should not be against the edge of the seat as it can cause pressure ulcers or restricted blood flow. The other options, holding the upper body and head erect, having the back and buttocks against the back of the chair, and having the feet flat on the floor, are all important for good alignment.
