Group of answer choices

A.Range-of-motion exercises are contraindicated in clients with existing cardiac conditions.

B.Passive range-of-motion exercises should be delegated to physiotherapists to reduce the chance of injury.

C.Performing range-of-motion exercises as slowly as possible maximizes the benefit.

D.Clients should be encouraged to put all their joints through a range of motion at least once daily.

Answer 1

Ans) B.Passive range-of-motion exercises should be delegated to physiotherapists to reduce the chance of injury.

Explaination:

Ideally, patients should put each joint through its range of motion at least once per day. Passive range of motion can be performed by nurses and exercises should be performed slowly and steadily, but not as slowly as possible. Heart disease does not categorically contraindicate the performance of range-of-motion exercises.
