Answer to Question 1

C
Passive ROM delays muscle wasting and maintains joint mobility (response C). Nothing can replace the need for ambulation (response B), although it is not always possible. Passive ROM may decrease the risk of skin breakdown (response A) as blood circulation improves, but it is not always the primary benefit. Response D is incorrect; ROM activities cannot cure deep vein thrombosis.

Answer to Question 2

A
Avoiding the discussion of difficult topics fails to prepare others for future transitions, so response A is incorrect. Responses B, C, and D all are appropriate techniques in preparing for future transitions.
