What does the Egress Mobility Test assess?

The Egress Mobility Test is specifically designed to assess a patient’s readiness for mobility. This test evaluates a patient’s ability to perform basic movements and indicates whether they are prepared to safely move from one place to another. It typically involves a series of tasks that the patient must complete, reflecting their strength, balance, and overall physical ability. Assessing a patient’s readiness for mobility is crucial in determining their potential for recovery and ensuring safety during rehabilitation or discharge.

The other options, while important aspects of patient care, do not reflect the primary focus of the Egress Mobility Test. For instance, response to pain medication is more related to pain management rather than mobility readiness. Likewise, vital signs monitoring and dietary needs assessment are essential for overall patient health but are separate evaluations that do not pertain to mobility readiness directly.
