Question 5 of 5
A patient is admitted with a stroke. The outcome of this disorder is uncertain, but the patient is unable to move the right arm and leg. The nurse starts passive range-of-motion (ROM) exercises. Which finding indicates successful goal achievement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Successful goal achievement in passive range-of-motion exercises is indicated by the maintenance of joint mobility. These exercises help prevent the stiffening of joints, preserve range of motion, and promote circulation. If the patient’s joint mobility is maintained, it shows that the passive ROM exercises are effectively preventing contractures and promoting the best possible outcome for the patient’s condition.
