false

1. which type of garment should you first assist an individual with removing when they undress?

shirt
pants
socks
shoes

1. which action best demonstrates promoting independence through \choice\ when assisting an individual with selecting what clothes they will wear?

pick out a set of clothes for them.
ask them what they want to wear.
ask them if they can assist with undressing.
slowly and clearly explain which clothes they will wear.

Explanation:

1. Making assumptions about a person's capabilities can lead to underestimating or overestimating them, which is not respectful or accurate. So, the statement "Never make assumptions about what a person can and cannot do" is correct.
2. When assisting with undressing, shoes are typically the first item to remove as they are often the easiest to take off and are not as closely fitted as other garments like socks (which may be snug), shirts (which may have buttons or be form - fitting), or pants (which may require more maneuvering).
3. Promoting independence through "choice" means allowing the individual to have a say in what they do. Asking them what they want to wear gives them the power of choice. Picking clothes for them removes their choice, asking if they can assist with undressing is about a different task (undressing vs. choosing clothes to wear), and explaining which clothes they will wear is more of a directive rather than giving a choice.

Answer:

1. TRUE
2. Shoes
3. Ask them what they want to wear.
