Grooming tasks typically include which of the following?

• A. Bathing and dressing.
• B. Ambulating tasks.
• C. Medication administration.
• D. Handwashing and fingernail care.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that grooming tasks are tied to what a person can actually do to care for themselves and present themselves, and mobility often enables those self-care activities. Being able to ambulate—move around safely, transfer between surfaces, and navigate the home—provides the necessary access and positioning to perform grooming routines like reaching a mirror, standing to brush teeth, or washing hands. If mobility is limited, grooming tasks can’t be performed safely or effectively, so ambulating tasks are considered part of grooming in this context. Bathing and dressing are broader personal-care activities, medication administration is a separate domain, and while handwashing and fingernail care are grooming-related, the item emphasizes the mobility aspect as essential to enabling grooming.
