Nurses use various tools and methods to assess a patient's mobility. Common assessments include: - Functional Independence Measure (FIM): Evaluates the degree of assistance required for ADLs. - Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test: Measures the time taken for a patient to rise from a chair, walk a short distance, and return. - Gait analysis: Observes the way a patient walks to identify any abnormalities.
