BADL Impairment (Adult IRF)

Clinical Description

Care of the patient experiencing impairment related to performance of BADLs (basic activities of daily living), such as bathing, dressing, self-feeding, toileting or grooming.

Key Information

Achieving independence in BADLs (basic activities of daily living) significantly decreases the physical and time burdens on caregivers, while helping the individual to achieve a sense of dignity and privacy.

The bathroom is a location where falls or injuries are more likely to occur. It is important to address bathroom safety issues, such as ability to safely negotiate small spaces, water temperature, lighting and electrical safety.

Consider the patient’s cultural norms, priorities and preferences when promoting BADL (basic activity of daily living) performance.

Clinical Goals

By transition of care

A. The patient will achieve the following goals:

Optimal Safe BADL Performance

B. Patient, family or significant other will teach back or demonstrate education topics and points:

Education: Overview
Education: Self Management/Training
Education: When to Seek Medical Attention

Correlate Health Status

Correlate health status to:
- history, comorbidity
- age, developmental level
- sex, gender identity
- baseline assessment data
- physiologic status
- response to medication and interventions
- psychosocial status, social determinants of health
- barriers to accessing care and services
- health literacy
- cultural and spiritual preferences
- safety risks
- family interaction
- plan for transition of care

BADL (Basic Activities of Daily Living) Impairment

Signs/Symptoms/Presentation

activity intolerance
bathing or showering ability limited
dressing ability limited
grooming ability limited
limited endurance

Problem Intervention

Optimize Basic Activity of Daily Living Skills

Assess BADL (basic activity of daily living) abilities; encourage participation at maximally safe independent level.
Provide assistance and supervision needed to maintain safety; involve caregiver in BADL (basic activity of daily living) training.
Ensure effective use of equipment or devices, such as a long-handled reacher, shower seat or orthosis.
Ensure proper body mechanics and positioning for optimal task performance.
Provide set-up of items if patient is unable to retrieve; store personal care items in accessible location.
Schedule BADL (basic activity of daily living) activities when pain and fatigue are at a minimum; pace activity to conserve energy.
Identify and address impairments or safety issues affecting performance, such as balance, strength or cognition.
Provide BADL (basic activity of daily living) re-training with therapeutic interventions.
