What is the name of the position of a patient for abdominal exam?

The position of a patient for an abdominal exam is typically the supine position, where the patient lies flat on their back with their arms at their sides. This position allows for optimal access to the abdomen for inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. In some cases, the patient may be asked to bend their knees slightly to relax the abdominal muscles.
