Illinois CNA State Practice Exam

Sims' position, also known as lateral recumbent position, is a medical position in which the patient lies on their left side with their right leg sharply flexed. This position is commonly used during medical procedures and examinations, such as rectal exams or childbirth. The reason the other options are incorrect is because Sims' position specifically refers to the positioning of the patient's legs, and in this case, only the right leg is flexed while the left leg remains straight. Both legs or neither leg being flexed would not accurately describe the position. Therefore, option D, right leg, is the correct answer.
