Which domain involves managing finances and transportation to support independent living?

• A. ADLs
• B. IADLs
• C. Falls
• D. Incontinence

Answer: (B)

Instrumental Activities of Daily Living involve the more complex tasks needed for independent living, such as managing finances and arranging transportation. These activities require planning, problem-solving, and interaction with the community, and how well someone can do them helps determine whether they can live at home safely or need assistance. ADLs cover basic self-care like bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, transferring, and continence, while falls are events and incontinence is a health issue rather than a daily function domain. So the domain that includes finances and transportation is instrumental activities of daily living.
