For which procedure is the lithotomy position primarily used?

  1. Abdominal surgery

  2. Vaginal examination

  3. Cardiac assessment

  4. Leg surgery

The correct answer is: Vaginal examination

The lithotomy position is primarily used for vaginal examinations because it allows for better access to the pelvic area and allows the patient to relax their muscles. This position is not commonly used for abdominal surgery as it does not provide adequate access to the abdomen. It is also not recommended for cardiac assessments as it can put strain on the heart. While it may sometimes be used for leg surgery, this is not the primary use of the lithotomy position.
