Which mobility level indicates 'completely immobile'?

• A. Very limited (occasional)
• B. Completely immobile
• C. Slightly limited (frequent but slight)
• D. No limitations

Answer: (B)

Mobility level describes how much movement a person can perform independently. When someone is completely immobile, they cannot move at all and require full assistance for any repositioning or transfer. That description matches the option that literally states “Completely immobile,” making it the correct choice because it conveys zero movement. The other descriptions indicate some degree of movement: very limited means movement occurs but is infrequent and highly restricted, slightly limited means movement is possible but with noticeable restrictions, and no limitations means full, independent mobility. In practice, complete immobility signals high risk for complications like pressure ulcers and respiratory issues, so care focuses on thorough turning schedules, skin protection, and strategies to maintain joint flexibility through passive range of motion when possible.
