In High-Fowler's position, what is the head angle range in degrees?

  1. 30 to 45 degrees

  2. 45 to 60 degrees

  3. 60 to 90 degrees

  4. 90 to 120 degrees

The correct answer is: 60 to 90 degrees

Maintaining proper head angle is important in High-Fowler's position to prevent pressure ulcers and decrease strain on the neck and spine. The incorrect options A and B may not provide sufficient elevation for the patient's head, leading to inadequate pressure relief. Option D is incorrect as it may cause excessive strain on the neck and can be uncomfortable for the patient. The ideal head angle range in High-Fowler's position is 60 to 90 degrees, providing adequate elevation while still maintaining comfort and effective pressure relief.
