ADLs are?

ADLs are?

• A. Personal hygiene
• B. Delivery of meals to the ward
• C. Dressing, mobility, eating, showering and personal hygiene
• D. Community activities

Answer: (C)

ADLs are the basic self-care tasks people do to live independently each day. They show how much assistance someone needs for everyday functioning. Dressing, mobility, eating, showering, and personal hygiene cover the key areas of self-care—putting on clothes, moving or transferring, feeding oneself, washing/bathing, and keeping clean. That’s why this option is best: it names all the fundamental activities that define ADLs. The other choices don’t fit because one is only part of ADLs (personal hygiene), another is about hospital logistics (delivery of meals to the ward), and another concerns broader social participation (community activities) rather than the essential self-care tasks. Understanding ADLs helps determine care needs and plan appropriate support.
