What Positions are Recommended for Cancer Patients?
Several positions can be beneficial for cancer patients, including:
1. Supine Position: Lying on the back with the head and shoulders slightly elevated can help with breathing and digestion. 2. Side-Lying Position: Alternating between the left and right side can reduce pressure on specific areas and improve circulation. 3. Semi-Fowler's Position: Sitting with the upper body elevated at a 30 to 45-degree angle can aid in respiratory function and comfort. 4. Prone Position: Lying face down can be beneficial for certain respiratory conditions and pressure relief in specific areas.
