Proper patient positioning involves several steps:
Assess the patient’s condition and discuss any specific needs or discomfort they may have. Explain the procedure to the patient to ensure they are comfortable and understand what is happening. Use appropriate support devices such as pillows, wedges, and foam pads to maintain the desired position. Ensure the patient is aligned properly to prevent strain or injury. Regularly check the patient’s skin and comfort level, adjusting the position as needed.
