Explanation
Answer: D The client would experience a decrease in range of motion (or the ability to fully move the associated structure) and a loss or decrease in function of the structure. An example of a decrease or loss of function would be the inability to hold or write with a pen due to pain. Acute injuries limit both range of motion and function.
