Performing passive range of motion exercises promotes circulation by improving blood flow in immobilized clients. Movement of the joints enhances venous return to the heart, reducing the risk of blood pooling and clot formation. The other options are incorrect because elevating the legs too high may impede arterial circulation, applying cold compresses reduces circulation rather than promoting it, and increasing fluid intake aids hydration but does not directly enhance blood flow in immobilized clients.
