Question

what is the recommended cpr position for a third - trimester gravid patient? choose the correct answer left - lateral decubitus position trendelenburg position on a backboard tilted at a 30° angle supine with manual left lateral uterine displacement

Explanation:

In third - trimester pregnant patients, the supine position can cause aortocaval compression. Manual left lateral uterine displacement in the supine position helps to relieve this compression and improve blood flow during CPR. The left - lateral decubitus position may not be optimal for chest compressions, the Trendelenburg position is not the recommended standard, and a 30 - degree tilted backboard is not the best practice.

Answer:

Supine with manual left lateral uterine displacement
