The nurse is planning care for a client who is disabled. Which is an advantage of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) when assessing this client?

1. It is applicable across cultures.
2. It is cost effective.
3. It does not require training.
4. It is already included in the nursing assessment.


Correct Answer: 1

The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) demonstrates advantages over other assessment instruments for health and disability; this assessment is short, simple to administer, and applicable across cultures, and clinical and general population settings. Cost effectiveness is not an advantage for this tool. All assessment tools require training. This tool is not included in the nursing assessment.
