client's caregiving duties at home. The OTR® wants to facilitate
movement, increase circulation, and decrease pain. What would
be the MOST appropriate use of thermal modalities?
A. Use deep heat while stretching the client's stiff joints.
B. Use superficial heat before or during a passive stretch.
C. Use superficial heat or deep heat without stretching the client's
stiff joints.

right answer is B

muscle spasms, not for generalized stiffness.
C: Use of heat should always be paired with some type of
movement, stretch, or activity.
D: Heat is indicated when an OTR wants to increase motion and
circulation and a client complains of aching pain.
