When in a lateral position, the person is typically lying on which part of their body?

  1. Abdomen

  2. Back

  3. Side

  4. Stomach

The correct answer is: Side

When a person lies on their side, they are in a lateral position. This is different from lying on their back (supine) or front (prone). Lying on their abdomen would be incorrect as that is a prone position, while lying on their back would be incorrect as that is a supine position. The correct answer, lying on their side, indicates the person is in a lateral position.
