Dependent-care tasks are tasks that:

Dependent-care tasks are tasks that:

• A. Require caregiver assistance or intervention.
• B. The client can perform independently.
• C. Optional to perform.
• D. Are tasks the client dislikes.

Answer: (A)

Dependent-care tasks are those activities that the client cannot safely or effectively complete on their own and therefore need the caregiver to assist or intervene. This includes helping with personal care like bathing, dressing, grooming, as well as mobility tasks such as transferring or repositioning, and routine activities like feeding or toileting. The key idea is that the caregiver’s involvement is necessary for safety and proper completion of the task. It isn’t about whether the client can do something independently, nor about whether the task is optional or something the client dislikes; those aspects don’t determine dependency.
