How often should you ambulate a resident if the care plan states "ambulate with BID"?

Once a day
Twice a day
Three times a day
Four times a day

The correct answer is: Twice a day

The phrase "ambulate with BID" indicates that the resident should be ambulated (assisted in walking) two times each day. "BID" is a common medical abbreviation that stands for "bis in die," which is Latin for "twice a day." Therefore, the correct understanding of this directive is to ensure that the resident is mobilized on two separate occasions within a 24-hour period. This practice is important for maintaining mobility, promoting circulation, and enhancing the overall well-being of the resident. Proper adherence to the care plan not only supports the resident's physical health but also aligns with best practices in caregiving.
