Which position would make CPR ineffective?

Explanation:
CPR relies on chest compressions delivered to the chest while the patient is lying on their back on a firm surface. In the prone position, the chest faces downward toward the bed, making it very hard to press the heart between the sternum and spine. The compressions would not effectively compress the chest or move blood, so circulation during CPR would be greatly impaired. Airway access and rescue breaths would also be more difficult in that position. That’s why the prone position would make CPR ineffective. The other positions described allow chest compressions on the chest when the patient is on their back on a firm surface.
