The nurse is caring for a client who just returned from a right mastectomy. Which position does the nurse anticipate for the client?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Semi-Fowler's with the affected arm supported (C) promotes comfort and reduces lymphedema risk post-mastectomy. High Fowler's (A), flat (B), and reverse Trendelenburg's (D) are less optimal.
