Feedback:
The nurse should include information, such as the client's typical diet, exercise regimen, and sleep habits, as part of ADL in the nursing history. The client's psychosocial stability information is not part of the ADL. The symptoms of any recent diseases are a part of the recent health history and should not be included in the ADL section of the nursing history.
