It's a descriptive word to help communicate a place of interest or an action a patient might present during movement.

Explanation:

It helps with charting and communicating with others present and not present where a place of concern may exist. It lets a person know if the patient was lying facing up (supine) or down (prone). It's like pinpointing a place on a map.
