What describes the supine position?

  1. Standing with arms raised

  2. Laying flat on their back with palms and face up

  3. Sitting with legs crossed

  4. Lying on their stomach

The correct answer is: Laying flat on their back with palms and face up

The supine position refers to lying flat on one's back, with palms facing upwards and the face upwards as well. This allows for ease of breathing and can help with relaxation. Option A is incorrect because standing with arms raised is not related to lying down. Option C is incorrect because sitting with legs crossed is also not related to lying down. Option D is incorrect because lying on one's stomach is referred to as the prone position.
