C
Positioning the client onto the left side brings the heart closer to the chest wall.
Sitting upright is used for assessing lung expansion and symmetry of the upper extremities.
Standing is not the best position for auscultating a heart murmur.
The dorsal recumbent position is best used for abdominal assessment.
