In a High-Fowler's position, how much is the head of the bed raised?

30 to 45 degrees
45 to 60 degrees
60 to 90 degrees
90 to 120 degrees

The correct answer is: 60 to 90 degrees

The High-Fowler's position is typically used for patients who have difficulty breathing, as it helps to ease and improve respiratory function. This position is achieved by raising the head of the bed between 60 to 90 degrees, which allows the chest to expand and reduce strain on the heart and lungs. Option A is not high enough to achieve this position and may not provide enough relief for breathing difficulties. Option B is too high and may put strain on the neck and back. Option D is also too high and may cause difficulty for the patient to sit up or maintain the position. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
