Which positioning maneuvers will help achieve a true lateral foot?
the foot is dorsiflexed and positioned so the dorsal surface is perpendicular to the image receptor
the foot is plantarflexed
the foot is dorsiflexed and positioned so the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor
the knee is flexed 45 degrees and positioned into a lateral
the foot is dorsiflexed and positioned so the plantar surface is perpendicular to the image receptor
Rationale: The true lateral foot requires the foot to be dorsiflexed so that a 90 degree relationship between the lower leg and the dorsum is achieved. The plantar surface of the foot should be aligned perpendicular to the image receptor.
