A nurse is assisting with the plan of care for a client who had a subtotal thyroidectomy. In which of the following positions should the nurse plan to place the client?

A. Sims' position: Used mainly for rectal procedures, not indicated after thyroid surgery. B. Fowler's position: Elevates the head of the bed, decreases neck edema, and eases breathing/swallowing after thyroidectomy. C.
