To properly position a patient in the sitting position, follow these steps:
Ask the patient to lie down on the examination table. Assist the patient in placing their feet into the stirrups. Ensure the patient's hips are at the edge of the table to provide optimal access. Adjust the stirrups to ensure the patient's legs are comfortably supported. Provide a drape for the patient's privacy and comfort.
Proper positioning ensures both patient comfort and an effective examination.
