Which approach does a nurse use to assess neck range of motion of an older adult patient?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should assess range of motion of the neck with one movement at a time, rather than a full rotation of the neck, to avoid causing dizziness on movement. Assessing range of motion is important data to gather to determine how limited the range is due to the kyphosis. The techniques mentioned in Options C and D test muscle strength rather than range of motion.
