A
The nurse should end the backrub with long firm strokes down the back. This is the most soothing of massage movements. The backrub is not finished with light strokes while moving up the back in a circular motion. Kneading movements toward the sacrum are done before the backrub is ended with long firm strokes down the back. The nurse should begin a backrub by massaging in a circular motion upward from buttocks to shoulders.
