Which of the following ADLs includes the ability to appropriately dress oneself?

The ability to appropriately dress oneself falls under the category of dressing, which is one of the activities of daily living (ADLs). Dressing involves not only putting on clothes but also selecting appropriate attire for different situations, which requires a certain level of cognitive functioning in addition to the physical ability to manipulate clothing.

Other ADLs such as eating, transferring, and toileting encompass different skill sets. Eating focuses on the ability to feed oneself and manage meals. Transferring pertains to the ability to move from one position to another, such as getting in and out of bed or a chair. Toileting involves the ability to use the restroom independently. While these activities are essential for daily living, they do not relate directly to the ability to dress oneself. Thus, dressing is the specific activity that addresses this skill.
