Practice Question
A nurse is preparing to administer a vaginal cream to a client. The nurse should instruct the client to lie in which of the following positions while in bed?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Dorsal recumbent
Rationale:
🔶 The dorsal recumbent position is ideal for administering vaginal medications because it allows maximum access to the vaginal canal while ensuring the client is comfortable and well-supported.
🔶 In this position, the client lies on her back with knees bent and feet flat, which facilitates proper insertion of the cream applicator and promotes medication distribution.
🔶 This position also helps prevent leakage of the cream and allows the client to remain relaxed during the procedure.
🔶 It is a standard position used for gynecological exams and vaginal treatments due to its effectiveness and ease of use in both clinical and home settings.
