Question 1 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Which of the following best describes the high-Fowler’s position?

Answer
A
The patient’s head is elevated at 20 degrees.
B
The patient’s head is elevated at approximately 90 degrees.
C
The patient’s head is elevated at 45 degrees.

Explanation

High-Fowler’s position means the patient is sitting nearly upright, with the head of the bed elevated approximately 90 degrees. A 45-degree elevation describes semi-Fowler’s position, while 20 degrees is too low for high-Fowler’s.
