Answer:

The correct answer is: The Barthel Index

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a tool used to measure and show whether a person is safe to do some daily basis activities such as feeding, bathing, dressing, toilet use, mobility or not. It tells if the patient is able to live independently. It can determine a long-term care setting or short-term rehab.
