Which aspects does InterRAI assess to address mobility and transfers?

• A. Dietary preferences and meal timing
• B. Sleep patterns and snoring
• C. Physical functioning, transfer independence, assistive devices, and need for supervision or equipment
• D. Medication reconciliation history

Answer: (C)

InterRAI’s assessment of mobility and transfers focuses on how well a person can move and transfer themselves and what support they need. It examines physical functioning, whether the person can transfer independently between bed, chair, and toilet, and how they manage walking or using any mobility aids. It also looks at what assistive devices are in use and whether supervision or additional equipment is required to move safely. This information is key for planning supports, identifying safety risks, and determining the level of care or supervision needed. Other areas like dietary preferences, sleep patterns, or medication history relate to different aspects of care and do not specifically address mobility or transfers.
