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

15 degrees
30 degrees
45 degrees
60 degrees

The correct answer is: 30 degrees

In a Semi-Fowler's position, the head of the bed is raised at a 30 degree angle. This position is often used in healthcare settings to help improve breathing and reduce strain on the heart. Option A is incorrect because 15 degrees would not provide enough elevation for these purposes. Option C is incorrect as 45 degrees may cause discomfort to the patient's back and shoulders. Option D is incorrect as 60 degrees may cause the patient to slide down on the bed and compromise their breathing. Overall, the 30 degree angle in a Semi-Fowler's position is found to be the most beneficial for patient comfort and health.
