LOWER the head of bed.)
Woman in labor (un-reassuring FHR)

Increase IV fluids!
Tube feeding with decreased LOC
Pt on Right side (promotes emptying of the stomach) Head of bed elevated (prevent aspiration)
After lumbar puncture and oil based myelogram
pt is flat SUPINE (prevent headache and leaking of CSF)
Pt with heat stroke
flat with legs elevated
during Continuous Bladder Irrigation (CBI)
catheter is taped to the thigh. leg must be kept straight.

client in sitting position (elevate HOB) FIRST!
Shock
bedrest with extremities elevated 20 degrees. knees straight, head slightly elevated (modified
Trendelenberg)
Head Injury
elevate HOB 30 degrees to decrease ICP
Peritoneal Dialysis (when outflow is inadequate)
