Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plan of care for passive ROM exercises should include the frequency and number of exercises, as well as the specific joints that need to be exercised. Asking the patient to demonstrate ROM or waiting for the patient to complain of pain are not valid strategies for a plan of care. Requesting family to perform ROM may not be feasible or consistent, so it is not the best option to include on the plan.
