Before adjusting the patient's position, the rescuer encourages the victim to cough freely and as forcefully as they can manage. The victim would do it better by turning to one side. When coughing is too difficult or impossible, the rescuer would sit the victim on the bed's edge, to make coughing easier or to apply the anti-choking manoeuvers (these are required if the victim cannot cough).
