Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing range of motion to the shoulder and must perform external rotation. Which action will the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D.
To perform external rotation of the shoulder, the nurse should move the patient's arm until the thumb is upward and lateral to the head with the elbow flexed. This position optimally engages the external rotators of the shoulder joint, allowing for the desired movement.
Choice A involves a full circle motion, which does not specifically target external rotation.
Choice B focuses on adduction rather than external rotation.
Choice C involves extension of the shoulder rather than external rotation.
Therefore, the correct answer is D as it aligns with the anatomical movements required for external rotation of the shoulder joint.
