If a resident is in a supine position, what does it mean?

  1. They are lying on their stomach

  2. They are lying on their back

  3. They are sitting upright

  4. They are lying on their side

The correct answer is: They are lying on their back

The definition of the supine position is when an individual is lying on their back with their face and torso facing upward. This position is commonly used in medical examinations and treatments, as it allows for easy access to the front of the body. It is particularly important for procedures such as examinations for the abdomen or during surgeries that require access to the anterior structures. The other choices describe different positions: lying on the stomach refers to the prone position, sitting upright indicates an upright position, and lying on the side is known as the lateral position. Thus, the choice that accurately describes the supine position is that the resident is lying on their back.
