Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functionally disabled refers to difficulties or limitations in performing basic activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, cooking, and cleaning. Since Maggie needs help with these tasks and uses a walker, she would be considered functionally disabled. The other options (physically disabled, critically disabled, and chronically disabled) are not as appropriate because they do not fully capture the extent of Maggie's limitations and needs.
