Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pain on forearm supination (palm up) and pain on pronation of the hand (palm down) indicate a potential issue with the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments, so options A and D would be appropriate documentation. The other options do not specifically address the movement of turning the hand from palm up to palm down and vice versa.
