On the activity scale 1-4, what does a score of 1 indicate?

• A. Bedfast
• B. Walks frequently
• C. Walks occasionally
• D. Chairfast (needs assistance)

Answer: (A)

On this activity scale, higher numbers reflect greater mobility and independence, while lower numbers show increasing dependence. A score of one means the patient is bedfast—completely unable to get out of bed and requiring full assistance for all activities. The other descriptions indicate some level of mobility (walking frequently or occasionally, or sitting in a chair with help), so they do not represent the lowest level of activity.
