Question: 1 / 400

How should a resident with COPD be positioned?

Lying flat on their back

Individuals with COPD have difficulty breathing and require a specific position to maximize their oxygen intake. Lying flat on their back is the most recommended position as it allows the lungs to expand fully and can alleviate breathing difficulties. The other options, such as lying on the stomach, sitting upright, or standing, may not allow for full lung expansion and can worsen symptoms for someone with COPD.
