1. Question
A client is about to undergo a lumbar puncture. A nurse describes to the client that which of the following positions will be used during the procedure?
CorrectAnswer & Rationale:
Option 1 is Correct
Rationale: A client undergoing lumbar puncture is positioned lying on the side, with the legs pulled up to the abdomen and the head bent down onto the chest. This position helps open the spaces between the vertebrae and allows for easier needle insertion by the physician. The nurse remains with the client during the procedure to help the client maintain this position. The other options identify incorrect positions for this procedure.
