Unless contraindicated by the surgical procedure, which of the following positions is preferred for the unconscious patient immediately postoperative? A) SupineB) LateralC) Semi-Fowler'sD) High-Fowler's - ANSWER- B) Lateral Rationale: Unless contraindicated by the surgical procedure, the unconscious patient is positioned in a lateral "recovery" position.

Although the risk of bronchospasm is less with cardioselective β-blockers than nonselective β-blockers, atenolol should be used cautiously in patients with COPD.
