Rationale 1: An infant cannot be placed in an upright position.
Rationale 2: The semi-Fowler's position elevates the head of bed. This allows better movement of the diaphragm.
Rationale 3: Prone positioning will not promote respirations.
Rationale 4: The head should not be hyperextended as that position does not open the airway in an infant.
Rationale 5: A sniffing position straightens and shortens the airway and is the position that is best.
