When a patient is in the lateral (side-lying) position, which bony areas require padding to prevent pressure injuries?

Giải thích

In the lateral position, pressure concentrates on the hip (greater trochanter), shoulder, ear, and ankles, so these areas need padding and protection. The sacrum and heels are more at risk in the supine position. Pillows placed between the knees and behind the back maintain alignment and offload pressure.
