Patient Positioning
Healthcare and Medical
Patient positioning is the technique of placing a patient's body in specific postures to support comfort, safety, medical procedures, surgery, or imaging accuracy. Nurses, surgical technologists, radiologic technologists, and physical therapists use positioning to prevent pressure injuries, ensure proper airway management, and optimize access for exams or operations. Correct positioning also helps protect patients with limited mobility from strain or injury.
