In an acute care bedside intervention, which activity is listed under mobility?

• A. Donning shirt
• B. Writing a note
• C. Bridging
• D. PROM

Answer: (C)

In acute care, mobility tasks involve moving the body within the bed or between positions. Bridging fits here because it is a bed mobility maneuver: you lift the pelvis off the bed by extending the hips and using the gluteal and hamstring muscles, then lower back down. This movement helps the patient change position, shift weight, and prepare for transfers or rolling in bed, which are core components of mobility training.

Dressing a shirt is a self-care activity, not a mobility task. Writing a note involves communication and cognitive skills, not moving the body. PROM is a passive range-of-motion technique performed by a clinician to maintain joint ROM, not a functional movement or bed-to-position change.
