In which position is a resident if he is lying flat on his back?

  1. Fowler's position

  2. Lateral position

  3. Prone position

  4. Supine position

The correct answer is: Supine position

A resident lying flat on their back is in the supine position. This is the correct answer because supine position refers to a person lying horizontally on their back with their face and torso facing upward. The other options are incorrect because they refer to different positions where the person is not lying flat on their back. For example, Fowler's position refers to a semi-sitting position, lateral position refers to lying on one's side, and prone position refers to lying face down on the stomach. These positions are different from supine position and would not accurately describe a person lying flat on their back.
