Answer 1

Answer:

lying on the back with head elevated 30 to 60 degrees

Explanation:

In medicine, Fowlers position is a standard patient position. It is used to relax tension of the abdominal muscles, allowing for improved breathing in immobile patients as it alleviates compression of the chest due to gravity, and to increase comfort during eating and other activities. It is also used in postpartum women to improve uterine drainage.

Answer 2

From the answers given it’s the “Lying on the back with the head elevated 30°-60°

Additional explanation:
In medicine, Fowler's position is a standard patient position in which the patient is seated in a semi-sitting position (45-60 degrees) and may have knees either bent or straight. Variations in the angle are denoted by high Fowler, indicating an upright position at approximately 90 degrees and semi-Fowler, 30 to 45 degrees; and low Fowler, where the head is slightly elevated.
