Question: 1 / 400

In a Fowler's position, how much is the head of the bed raised?

30 to 45 degrees

45 to 60 degrees

A Fowler's position is a standard patient bed position where the head of the bed is raised to promote lung expansion and abdominal relaxation. The head of the bed is typically raised between 45 and 60 degrees. Option A is incorrect because it is not high enough to achieve the desired effects of the position. Option C is incorrect because it is too high and can lead to complications such as increased intracranial pressure. Similarly, option D is also too high and can lead to complications such as increased risk of aspiration. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and safe choice for the degree of elevation in Fowler's position.
