Which item covers dressing above the waist?

• A. G2d Dressing lower body
• B. G2e Walking
• C. G2f Locomotion
• D. G2c Dressing upper body

Answer: (D)

Dressing above the waist is evaluated by the dressing upper body item. This item specifically covers tasks for the torso and arms—things like putting on shirts, sweaters, or other upper-body clothing and getting sleeves and necklines right. It focuses on independence with clothes worn above the waist, not on items worn below the waist or on movement. Dressing lower body, walking, and locomotion address other aspects of daily living: lower-body dressing deals with pants, underwear, and socks; walking and locomotion measure movement and mobility, which are different skills from dressing. That’s why the upper-body dressing item is the best fit for dressing above the waist.
