Which option best identifies Bed mobility in the functional assessment?

• A. G2b Personal hygiene
• B. G2i Bed mobility
• C. G2d Dressing lower body
• D. G3d Distance wheeled self

Answer: (D)

Bed mobility measures how a person moves in bed and transfers, such as turning, repositioning, and getting in or out of bed. In the InterRAI functional assessment, this capability is captured by the item specifically labeled Bed mobility. That makes it the best match for identifying bed mobility. The other options tap into different activities: personal hygiene, dressing the lower body, and moving a certain distance with a wheelchair, which are not about bed-level movement.
