Question:

What should the nurse aid do when he or she moves a joint during ROM (range of motion) exercises, and the patient complains of pain?

A Stop the movement at the point where pain occurs and report to the nurse
explanation

Range of motion (ROM) exercises provide a way to maintain joint flexibility. Each joint is moved as far as it can comfortably go. The customer may feel slight discomfort as the muscles are stretched, but never push beyond the point of pain. If the customer reports pain, stop immediately and report to the nurse or therapist.

There are definitely a few mistakes in this app, some of the answers are just plain wrong so make sure this is not your only source of study material. Other than that this app is very helpful.

I would love to give this app 5 stars but in the Nursing Skills section it does not allow you to go on to part 7. After you get to part 6 it either just never loads or it tells you to go to part 7 and does absolutely nothing.
