Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.
The answer and the reasoning
C. Restore range of motion and strength
The relevant Rehabilitation principle supports Restore range of motion and strength; it is the option that best explains the mechanism, physical finding, investigation, or safe management priority in the question.
Option by option
A. Eliminate all follow-up
Eliminate all follow-up is not supported by the clinical description or management aim.
B. Maintain lifelong immobilization
Maintain lifelong immobilization does not correspond to the stated rehabilitation finding.
C. Restore range of motion and strength (correct)
Correct. Restore range of motion and strength directly addresses the essential clue in this sample.
D. Avoid functional assessment
Avoid functional assessment may apply to a different condition but is not the best response here.
