Explanation:

• Adduction: Adduction is the movement of a body part toward the mid - line of the body. Movement away from the body is abduction. So, the statement "Adduction is when the joint moves away from the body" is false.
• Pronation: Pronation of the hand is the rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces downward or backward. Pronation of the foot involves the rolling of the foot inward. So, the statement "Pronation is when the hand or foot rolls inward" is true.
• Supine: Supine position is when a patient is lying on their back (face up). Prone position is when a patient is lying face down. So, the statement "Supine refers the patient lying face down" is false.

Answer:

• "Adduction is when the joint moves away from the body": False
• "Pronation is when the hand or foot rolls inward": True
• "Supine refers the patient lying face down": False
