A person with an abdominal injury should be placed in a position that minimizes strain on the abdomen, typically lying flat on their back with their knees bent. This position helps reduce tension in the abdominal muscles and can alleviate pain. If there is severe pain or discomfort, the person may be encouraged to lie on their side in a fetal position, which can also help. It's important to avoid any movement that could exacerbate the injury and to seek immediate medical attention.
