Question 16 • Introduction to Health Science - EL3601 B

How should you position a person who has had a stroke for recovery?

Answer
A
upright in a chair
B
on the side with the head resting on one raised arm
C
flat on the back with a pillow under the head
D
lying down with feet elevated on a chair

Explanation

If the person is unconscious but breathing, place them on their side in the recovery position to help keep the airway open and reduce the risk of choking. Support the head with the raised arm and call emergency services. The correct choice is “on the side with the head resting on one raised arm.”
