Ms. J has suffered a recent leg fracture and has a full-leg cast on her right leg. One staff member needs to lift her leg into the bed and position the cast on a pillow. When Ms. J slides down in bed, it requires two staff members to lift her up toward the head of the bed. How should the bed mobility ADL be documented for both Self-Performance and Support Provided?
