How is a patient positioned when they are in the prone position?

  1. Lying on their left side

  2. Sitting upright

  3. Lying face down

  4. Standing

The correct answer is: Lying face down

The prone position refers to lying face down, so options A, B, and D are incorrect. If a patient were lying on their left side, they would be in the lateral position. If they were sitting upright, they would be in the seated position. And if they were standing, they would be in the erect position. Thus, the only correct option is C, lying face down.
