Which daily living activity is NOT listed in Chapter 7?

• A. Meal assistance
• B. Medication self-administration
• C. Skin integrity
• D. Vision screening

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is identifying which tasks are considered daily living activities versus a health screening task. Daily living activities are the hands-on tasks you help with or perform to support a person in day-to-day life, such as preparing or assisting with meals, ensuring medications are taken as prescribed, and maintaining skin integrity through appropriate care and monitoring. Vision screening, while important for overall health, is a preventive health assessment done by a clinician or specialist, not a daily living activity you typically provide as part of daily support. So vision screening isn’t listed as a daily living activity in Chapter 7. You’d help someone get to or arrange the screening, but you wouldn’t perform the screening itself as part of ADL support.
