Answer:

2 "Let me help you turn to your side."

Explanation:

The patient underwent major surgery and is in the post-anesthetic care unit. It is normal for patients undergoing very evasive surgeries to experience some side effects such as dizziness, nausea and dizziness. In the case of the patient exposed in the question, who felt the urge to vomit, the nurse should help him to turn his body to the side. This prevents the patient from getting hurt, and prevents the patient from suffocating with his own vomiting.
