ANS: D
Further assessment of the patient is needed to determine what the patient is able to perform. Some patients are able to move some joints actively, whereas the nurse passively moves others. With a weak patient, the nurse may have to support an extremity while the patient performs the movement. In general, exercises need to be as active as health and mobility allow.
