Final answer:

During range of motion exercises, if resistance is felt or the patient complains of pain, the appropriate action is to stop the activity. Continuing could cause further injury, so it is false that one should continue regardless of pain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to the protocol one should follow during range of motion exercises when encountering resistance or pain. It is false to continue with the range of motion exercises if the patient feels resistance or complains of pain. The correct approach is to respect pain signals and stop the activity.

It's essential to avoid causing further distress or injury, and therefore, the exercises should only be done to the point of mild fatigue and not to the point where pain is induced.
