B, C, D
Feedback:
Eating is an activity of daily living. Shopping, cooking, and cleaning the kitchen after cooking are instrumental activities of daily living.

A
Children's shorter and straighter eustachian tubes provide easier access of the organisms from the nasopharynx to travel to the middle ear.

Answer to #3

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Activities of daily living include eating, washing, dressing, toileting, and moving. Instrumental activities of daily living include the skills beyond the basics that enable the individual to function independently in the community.

Answer to #4

A

Answer to #5

B
Feedback:
Difficulty in eating is a problem with one of the basic activities of daily living (ADLs); the others are instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). The person would need thrice-daily help with eating meals. In comparison, it would be easier to obtain help with meal preparation, reading, or using a telephone.
