Answer:4
Rationale:Flat,with legs slightly elevated,is the position that is used for a client experiencing shock. This allows for the blood pressure to be maintained during this critical time. The Trendelenburg position is no longer recommended for the treatment of shock. The position causes abdominal organs to press against the diaphragm,which impedes respirations and decreases coronary artery filling.High Fowler's and reverse Trendelenburg are positions that have the head elevated. This position is not effective to maintain a blood pressure when shock is occurring.
