ADL (activities of daily living) refers to basic self-care tasks that individuals usually perform without assistance. In a nursing home setting, activities included in ADL typically involve tasks like bathing, toileting, locomotion or transfer, eating, dressing, and grooming. These activities are essential for maintaining the individual's personal hygiene, nutrition, and physical well-being. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it accurately lists the activities commonly included in ADL for nursing home residents. The other options are incorrect as they do not align with the standard definition of ADL in a nursing home context.
