A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a subtotal thyroidectomy. The nurse should place the client in which of the following positions?

A. Correct. Placing the client in Semi Fowler’s position with the head of the bed elevated helps reduce swelling and pressure on the neck after thyroid surgery. B. Dorsal recumbent position might not provide the necessary support and elevation for the client's neck after thyroid surgery. C. The supine position might not be as optimal as Semi Fowler’s for comfort and healing after thyroid surgery. D. The left lateral position is not typically used for postoperative care after a thyroidectomy.
