Several positions can be utilized for repositioning patients:
1. Supine Position: The patient lies flat on their back. This is a common resting position but requires frequent changes to avoid pressure on the sacrum and heels. 2. Lateral Position: The patient lies on their side. This helps relieve pressure on the back and sacrum. 3. Prone Position: The patient lies on their stomach. This can be beneficial for respiratory function but is not suitable for all patients. 4. Fowler's Position: The head of the bed is elevated. This is useful for patients with respiratory issues or those who need to be semi-upright. 5. Trendelenburg Position: The bed is tilted with the head lower than the feet. This is used in specific medical situations like shock.
