Answer: - "it is used to identify ways to maintain independence"
Your response is correct!
The goal of a functional assessment is to help the client maintain as
much independence as possible. For example, if the client can brush
their teeth, the nurse should assemble the supplies but let the client
perform their own oral care. The nurse should not perform oral care just
because the client is in the hospital.

needs of the facility or the nurse.
