Passive range of motion exercises are done:

  1. After meals

  2. To increase appetite

  3. When a resident cannot move on her own

  4. When the resident is fully capable

The correct answer is: When a resident cannot move on her own

Passive range of motion exercises are typically done for individuals who are unable to move on their own. These exercises are meant to help maintain joint mobility and prevent stiffness in immobilized or weakened limbs. Therefore, the options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not provide a reason for needing to do passive range of motion exercises. These exercises are not done after meals or to increase appetite, and they are not typically done for someone who is fully capable of moving on their own.
