A nurse is preparing to administer a vaginal cream to a client. The nurse should instruct the client to lie in which of the following positions while in bed?

A. Prone position (lying face down) is not appropriate for administering vaginal cream. B. Orthopneic position (sitting up and leaning slightly forward) is not conducive to administering vaginal cream. C. Sims' position (lying on the left side with the right knee drawn up and the left arm drawn behind, often used for rectal examinations) is not typically used for administering vaginal cream. D. The dorsal recumbent position, lying on the back with knees flexed and soles of feet flat on the bed, is typically recommended for administering vaginal cream. This position allows for easier insertion and retention of the medication.
