Phase two activity focus in the patient’s room is:

• A. Transfer and pre-gait, walking in room
• B. Education for discharge - AD, assistance levels
• C. Out of ICU, preparing for discharge
• D. Begin strength training, using other equipment

Answer: (A)

Phase two focuses on moving in-room functional mobility, progressing from bed-based tasks to upright activities within the patient’s room. The best choice centers on safe transfers and pre-gait practice, leading to short walks around the room. This era of mobilization aims to get the patient out of bed, practice transferring to a chair or standing from a seated position, and begin small steps with support, all while monitoring vitals and fatigue. It sets the foundation for more independent ambulation before venturing into discharge planning or out-of-room activities. Discharge education and planning are addressed later, and longer or equipment-based strengthening or out-of-ICU ambulations are typically introduced after basic in-room mobility is established.
