Feedback:
Sitting upright or in a semisitting position helps the client to alleviate the condition. Lying supine with a single pillow or lying supine with head slightly lowered does not help the client to relieve the condition. Lying with the legs slightly elevated helps in improving the circulation of the limbs, but does not relieve breathing difficulty.
