Can you solve this OASIS scenario?

OASIS Scenario: GG0170I – Walk 10 Feet

Mrs. P is an 82-year-old patient with COPD and continuous oxygen use at 2 L/min via nasal cannula. She is being seen at home following a recent hospitalization for a COPD exacerbation.

During the Start of Care (SOC) assessment, the clinician observes Mrs. P's ability to walk 10 feet in her living room. Upon standing, she becomes mildly short of breath and requires frequent cues to maintain her balance. The clinician provides steadying assistance by holding her gait belt for safety, while the patient's husband walks alongside to manage the oxygen tubing and ensure it does not catch on furniture. Mrs. P initiates the movement but needs significant physical support.

What's the best code selection for GG0170I – Walk 10 feet?
A. 04 – Supervision or touching assistance
B. 03 – Partial/moderate assistance
C. 02 – Substantial/maximal assistance
D. 01 – Dependent
