Answer: C - If you suspect that a patient is going into shock the proper position to place them in is to arrange their body supine with their legs elevated 8-12 inches, and seek immediate support from a physician, or call 911.
According to Mt. Sinai Hospital, if the person is conscious and DOES NOT have an injury to the head, leg, neck, or spine, place the person in the shock position. Lay the person on the back and elevate the legs about 12 inches (30 centimetres). It is strongly recommended you do not elevate the head. If raising the legs will cause pain or potential harm, leave the person lying flat.
