A client is seen in the emergent care clinic for right wrist pain with a pattern of ecchymosis observed on the wrist. Which motion should the nurse instruct the client to perform to assess the wrist mobility?

Choice A reason: Forearm pronation assesses rotation of the forearm, not the wrist joint specifically. Choice B reason: Forearm supination also evaluates forearm rotation and does not directly assess wrist mobility. Choice C reason: Hyperextension and palmar flexion are direct movements of the wrist joint and are appropriate for assessing wrist range of motion, especially in the presence of ecchymosis. Choice D reason: Plantar flexion is a movement of the ankle and foot, not relevant to wrist assessment.
