Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) include tasks such as shopping, paying bills, and preparing food. These tasks require a higher level of cognitive functioning and are necessary for independent living, especially for older adults. Activities of daily living (ADLs) refer to basic self-care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating, while primary and secondary activities of active functioning are not commonly used terms in this context.
