Solution
Answer
The answer is: Resident requires assistance from staff to ambulate safely
Explanation
Option 1: Resident uses a cane or walker to ambulate
This option describes a scenario where a resident uses a mobility aid independently, which does not necessarily involve assistance from another person.
Option 2: Resident requires assistance from staff to ambulate safely
This option accurately describes "Assisted Ambulation," where a resident needs help from staff to walk safely. This assistance can include physical support or supervision to ensure the resident's safety.
Option 3: One resident assists another resident to ambulate
While this involves assistance, it specifically refers to one resident helping another, which is not the typical definition of "Assisted Ambulation" in a professional care setting.
Option 4: None of the above
This option is incorrect because option 2 provides the correct definition of "Assisted Ambulation."
