Prone Position: the patient is lying on the belly with the face down. The arms maybe placed under the head for comfort. This position is used for the examination and treatment of the back and buttocks.

Answer from a Catholic (Catholics in union with the Pope)The Catholic position is that if there is reasonable hope that resuscitation would preserve the patient's life, and that to do so would not represent an undue burden to the patient, then resuscitation would be part of the minimum standard of care. If the patient is not expected to recover from a fatal illness or injury, and has begun to enter the dying process, then to continue to administer resuscitation would most likely be truly burdensome to the patient and not good care for them. In such cases, a do not resuscitate order would be appropriate.
