== Assessment guidelines ==

An ADL assessment is usually done within 24 hours of admission (done by allied health or nurses). The ADL assesses a patient's capability to perform a certain activity. Restrictions on a patient's activities should not be assessed as requiring assistance. For example, if a pt is on bedrest restrictions,it does not mean that they are unable physically to get out of bed. If the patient would be able to perform the activity if allowed then they are to be assessed accordingly. The ADL assessment we utilize is the patient's state of activity on admission (not at home prior to admission). It takes into consideration acute medical issues that resulted in admission to the hospital. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 15:10, 2013 May 30 (EDT)
