The  examination  requires  that  he  spend  two  nights  in  the  hospital  for  procedures  necessitating  mild  to  moderate  anesthesia.  He  is  unable  to  walk  more  than  10  steps  independently  because  of  his  general  deconditioning.From  the  time  his  wife  drops  him  off  at  the  medical  center  until  he  leaves,  what  mobility  needs  must  be  considered?
