When a resident reports pain during ROM exercises, the exercises should be discontinued immediately to prevent further injury. It is essential to prioritize the resident's safety and reassess the situation before proceeding.
If a resident reports pain during ROM (Range of Motion) exercises, the appropriate action is to discontinue the exercises immediately. Continuing the exercises when the resident is experiencing pain can lead to further injury and is not considered a safe practice. It is important to listen to the resident's feedback and respect their pain, as pain is an indicator that something might be wrong. Instead of pushing through, it would be best to pause the exercises and seek further evaluation if necessary.
In conclusion, the well-being and safety of the resident should always be the top priority during any exercise regimen. If a resident reports pain during ROM exercises, stopping the exercise and reassessing the situation is vital to prevent potential harm.
