Q3. Immediately on return to the nursing unit after surgical repair of a cleft palate, in which of these positions would the nurse place the child?
In low Fowler's position with the head turned to the side
Lying on the abdomen with the head turned to the side
In reverse Trendelenburg with the head tilted forward
On the back with the head in a position of comfort
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B. Lying on the abdomen with the head turned to the side
Right after a surgical repair of a cleft palate, the child is placed on the abdomen with the head turned to the side to lessen the chance of aspiration by allowing secretions to drain out. Positioning the child on the back places the child at risk for aspiration should any regurgitation or vomiting occur, even in low Fowler's position with the head to the side or in reverse Trendelenburg position with the head tilted forward.
