Passage / Scenario
A nurse is preparing to administer a rectal suppository to a client. In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client for Insertion of the suppository?Prone position
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Lying on the right side. The prone position refers to lying face down, which is achieved by lying on the stomach. Choice B is correct because when lying on the right side, one is in a lateral recumbent position, not prone. Sim's position (choice A) is a left-side lying position with the upper knee flexed. Supine position (choice C) is lying face up. The remaining choices are irrelevant to the prone position. So, choice B is the correct answer as it accurately describes a position different from the prone position.
