Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) refer to tasks that require some cognitive competence and include activities such as preparing meals, managing finances, and using transportation. This is in contrast to activities of daily living (ADLs), which are basic self-care tasks such as dressing and bathing. Therefore, Edmund's difficulty with preparing food and paying bills suggest impairment in IADLs rather than ADLs.
