The nurse explains that range of motion exercises are necessary so that movement improves venous circulation by:

maintaining strength in muscles.

compression of muscles on venous walls.

vasodilation.

increased metabolism.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. maintaining strength in muscles.

This is a benefit of ROM exercises, but it does not directly explain how venous return improves.

B. compression of muscles on venous walls.

Muscle contraction compresses veins, helping to push blood back toward the heart, improving venous return.

C. vasodilation.

Vasodilation increases blood flow, but doesn’t directly enhance venous return in the context of ROM.

D. increased metabolism.

Increased metabolism is a systemic benefit of exercise but is not the primary mechanism of improved venous circulation.
