Question

The nurse is assisting an older adult client into position for a sigmoidoscopy. which position would the nurse place the client in?

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be: knee chest position.

The position that ideal for sigmoidoscopy would be knee chest position as the position giving a good height and maneuverability to the operator. But the position might be not very comfortable for the patient. Another position that can be used is left lateral position.
