Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The high Fowler's position should not be used with more than one pillow or with overly large pillows.
Rationale 2: The orthopneic position across the overbed table facilitates respiration by allowing maximum chest expansion.
Rationale 3: The prone position places the client on the abdomen and makes chest expansion difficult.
Rationale 4: The Sims position is a side-lying position and does not support full chest expansion as much as the orthopneic position.
