Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Passive range of motion maintains muscle integrity but does not build muscle strength, because the client does not contract the muscles. Active or active-assistive range of motion requires the client to contract the muscles, and improves muscle strength.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The continuous passive motion device is a postoperative treatment method used to promote recovery after joint surgery. The unconscious client and the quadriplegic client would require passive range of motion, whereas the client confined to bed rest while in traction would be able to perform active range of motion
