Which position describes a resident lying flat on his back with his head and shoulders supported by a pillow?

  1. Fowler's position

  2. Lateral position

  3. Prone position

  4. Supine position

The correct answer is: Supine position

A resident in the supine position is lying on their back, while in the lateral position they would be laying on their side. The prone position refers to lying face down, and Fowler's position is a sitting position with the head and shoulders elevated. Therefore, the only option that accurately describes a resident lying flat on their back with head and shoulders supported by a pillow is the supine position.
