Checking with the nurse and the person's care plan is the best choice as it will ensure that the person's medical condition and any precautions or contraindications are taken into consideration before starting the back massage. This will ensure the safety and comfort of the person with heart disease. Checking the pulse may also be necessary, but it is not the first step before giving a back massage in this case. Warming lotion and asking for the person's preferred position are not as important as checking with the nurse and care plan.
