Which of the following adverse outcomes may occur as a complication of changing a patient’s position after surgery?
  1. Hypotension
  2. Diarrhea
  3. Somnolence
  4. Apnea
Explanation
Answer: A-Hypotension is a potential complication of changing the patient’s position after surgery. If the patient has been in the same position during surgery for a significant period of time, vascular changes can occur when moving to a different position, such as from prone to a supine position. The patient should be turned or moved very slowly and monitored for blood pressure changes during repositioning.
