ADLs refer to activities of daily living and include which of the following?

• A. Walking
• B. Diagnosing illnesses
• C. Scheduling appointments
• D. Administering medications

Answer: (A)

ADLs are basic self-care tasks people do every day to care for themselves. Walking is a basic mobility task that lets a person move around and perform daily activities independently, so it fits as an ADL. The other options involve obtaining medical care or managing healthcare services—diagnosing illnesses, scheduling appointments, and administering medications—which are not self-care tasks, but rather medical or care-management activities. So walking is the best choice.
