What does 'ambulatory' mean in the context of resident mobility?

  1. Confined to a wheelchair

  2. Get out of bed and walk

  3. Requiring full assistance for movement

  4. Unable to move without assistance

The correct answer is: Get out of bed and walk

In the context of resident mobility, the term 'ambulatory' refers to the ability to get out of bed and walk independently. This term is used to describe residents who are able to move around on their own feet without the need for a wheelchair or significant assistance. Option A, being confined to a wheelchair, is not correct as 'ambulatory' implies independent walking. Option C, requiring full assistance for movement, and option D, unable to move without assistance, do not align with the definition of ambulatory, making them incorrect choices.
