Question

Which postition would the nurse place a patient who is still drowsy from anesthesia and has been vomitting?

Answer 1

The nurse should place the patient in lateral recovery position who is still drowsy from anesthesia and has been vomiting.

The lateral position, one of the four standard surgical patient positions, is used for treatments that need access to one side of the patient's body. The patient is in the lateral position, lying on one side. Back operations, surgery on the lower extremities, thoracic surgeries, ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries, and kidney surgeries are a few typical procedures that may call for the patient to be positioned in the lateral position.

Surgery access to the thorax, kidney, retroperitoneal area, and hip which has anesthesia is performed from the lateral position. The patient will lie on their left or right side depending on which side of the body is being operated on.
