General Considerations
- ADL - assess functional status during the first 24 hours after the patient has been "accepted" to medicine service by a medicine service attending physician.
- Where a non-independent ADL is induced solely by medical intervention, estimate the ADL without intervention.
- ADL assesses a patient "capability" to perform a certain activity if allowed. Patients who are ordered not to do a certain activity should not be assessed as requiring assistance. If patient would be able to perform the activity if allowed then they are to be assessed as "unassisted".
