What is the recommended position for a pregnant patient who passes out?

  1. Right lateral

  2. Left lateral

  3. Supine

  4. Fowler's

The correct answer is: Left lateral

It is recommended for pregnant patients who pass out to be positioned on their left side, making option B the best answer. This is due to the fact that being on the left side can improve blood flow to the heart and uterus, as well as reduce pressure on a major blood vessel called the vena cava. Options A, C, and D may not provide the same benefits and could potentially worsen the patient's condition. Therefore, it is important to position a pregnant patient on their left side in these situations.
