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.

A cesarean section is a kind of surgery used in baby delivery and it is different from the normal delivery of babies through the the woman sex organ. The cesarean section are of two primary types, that is they may be classic or transverse cesarean section.

From what I wrote in the first paragraph about Wound closure strips, if the client says something about leaving the Wound closure strips or Steri-Strips will be be able to hold her wound together then the client need more teachings because the Wound closure strips is not that strong for that kind of wound.
