Question

When preparing a client for a liver biopsy, the nurse explains that during the test the client will be placed in what position?

Answer 1

When preparing a client for a liver biopsy, the client will be placed in Supine with the right hand under the head.

Liver is located on the right side of the abdomen, so it's better for the patient to lay supine with the right hand under the head so it won't blocking the procedure. This will also increase the intercostal space.
