Situation : Nurse Nico is caring to a 38-year-old female, G3P3 client who has been diagnosed with hemorrhoids. Q. Which position would be ideal for the client in the early postoperative period after hemorrhoidectomy?

High Fowler’sSupine Side – lyingTrendelenburg’s

Explanation.

Rationale: Positioning in the early postoperative phase should avoid stress and pressure on the operative site. The prone and side – lying are ideal from a comfort perspective. A high Fowler’s or supine position will place pressure on the operative site and is not recommended. There is no need for trendelenburg’s position.
