Answer:

3. I don't have anyone to help me with doing heavy housework at home.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the response options, with the exception of the third, have an autonomy of the patient, where he shows that he will have no difficulties in performing necessary tasks, without the help of third parties. However, in the third answer option, the patient shows that he will have difficulties after being discharged, as he fears that he will have difficulties in being alone, since he has no one to help him.

Therefore, we can assume that the correct answer to your question is the third answer option.
