Answer 1

Answer:

At lowest position with the head at least at a 45-degree angle.

Explanation:

A patient refers to an individual receiving a medical care from a medical professional such as a doctors, nurses, etc.

Basically, the rights of a patient can be classified into two (2) categories and these includes;

I. Right to consent: it includes the right of a patient to accept a particular treatment.

II. Right to refuse: this is the right of a patient to decline any treatment he or she is do not want.

When preparing to transfer a patient from the bed to a wheelchair, the bed in which he or she is lying on should be positioned at the lowest position with the head (headrest) at least at a 45-degree angle.

This should be done properly, so as to prevent any injury to the patient or mitigate the risk of any bodily harm to the patient.
