Dangling means which position?

• A. Sitting up in a chair with the feet on the floor
• B. Hanging both arms over chair rests
• C. Sitting up with the legs over the side of the bed
• D. Lying in bed with the feet over the side of the bed

Answer: (C)

Dangling describes the position where the person sits upright at the edge of the bed with the legs hanging over the side. This posture helps blood return from the legs to the torso and prepares the person for standing safely. The choice that fits this description is the one that shows sitting up with the legs over the side of the bed. Sitting in a chair with feet on the floor isn’t dangling, hanging arms over chair rests isn’t full-body upright with legs hanging, and lying with feet over the side isn’t seated upright.
