question 3 of 10
after undergoing a liver biopsy, a client should be placed in which position?

• supine position
• right lateral decubitus position
• semi - fowlers position
• prone position

Explanation:

After a liver biopsy, placing the client in the right lateral decubitus position applies pressure to the biopsy site (liver area) to help prevent bleeding. The supine position doesn't apply targeted pressure, semi - Fowler's is for respiratory or comfort in some cases, and prone is not relevant for liver biopsy post - care.

Answer:

B. Right lateral decubitus position
