Nurses often use standardized tools and assessments to evaluate a patient's IADLs. These assessments may include: - Self-reported questionnaires: where patients provide information about their ability to perform various IADLs. - Performance-based assessments: where patients are observed performing specific tasks. - Interviews with caregivers: to gather additional information about the patient's abilities and limitations. The results of these assessments help nurses create individualized care plans that address the specific needs of the patient.
