A) The best range of motion is the natural movement of the client's joints in normal activity. Brushing the hair and teeth includes more of the joints of the hands and the arms than does washing the face. The wash basin should be close to the client to prevent overreaching and possible falls. Passive range of motion is a second-best choice after normal use of the joints.
