Which position refers to an inclined position where the head of the bed is raised?

The Fowler position is characterized by the patient being positioned with the head of the bed elevated, usually to angles between 30 and 90 degrees. This position is commonly used in emergency medical settings and for patients who are experiencing respiratory issues, as it can facilitate easier breathing. Elevating the upper body can also enhance circulation and is beneficial for various medical procedures or assessments.

Other positions such as the supine position involve lying flat on the back with the head at the same level as the rest of the body, while the prone position has the patient lying on their stomach, neither of which allows for the same advantages that come with the head being elevated. The sitting position does involve an upright posture, but it does not specifically refer to the use of a bed or the elevation of a headrest as clearly as the Fowler position does.
