Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best position for a 2-year-old child to have an otoscopy is supine on the caregiver's lap. This provides stability and comfort for the child while allowing the healthcare provider to perform the procedure. Sitting or standing positions may not be stable or comfortable enough for the child and lying supine on an exam table may cause anxiety or fear.
