Which of the following items is least appropriate for assisting with a resident's daily living activities?

Plate guards and silverware with grips
Cup holders and splint-attached utensils
Mobility aids like walkers and crutches
Medical tools like stethoscopes and thermometers

The correct answer is: Medical tools like stethoscopes and thermometers

The correct choice identifies medical tools like stethoscopes and thermometers as least appropriate for assisting with a resident's daily living activities. The primary purpose of these tools is to assess and monitor health conditions rather than support the execution of activities of daily living (ADLs) such as eating, drinking, or moving around. In contrast, items like plate guards, silverware with grips, cup holders, and splint-attached utensils are specifically designed to enhance the resident's independence and ability to eat and drink with ease. Mobility aids such as walkers and crutches also directly facilitate movement, allowing individuals to navigate their environment and maintain mobility, which is essential for daily activities. These distinctions underscore the significance of using practical assistance tools tailored to daily living, whereas medical instruments serve a different role within the healthcare setting.
