Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate position for a client with asthma is high-Fowler's position, which is sitting up with the head of the bed elevated at a 90-degree angle. This position helps to expand the chest and improve breathing. Lateral, prone, and supine positions would not be ideal for a client with asthma.
