The correct answer is: Body alignment

Body alignment in the medical context refers to the proper positioning of the body and its parts in relation to one another to maintain balance, posture, and overall physical function. It is crucial for activities of daily living, and it helps to prevent injury and strain on muscles and joints. Keeping the body aligned reduces the risk of discomfort and aids in the efficiency of movement. Proper body alignment is particularly important in nursing and care settings to ensure the comfort and safety of patients while being moved or positioned, as well as to promote effective breathing and circulation. Understanding body alignment is essential for CNAs to support patients and promote their well-being.
