Provide criteria for an IADL domain being 'Partially Met'.

• A. All IADL tasks are fully independent.
• B. Manage finances and transportation independently, with no help.
• C. Some complex tasks have support (e.g., meal planning) but others like managing finances or transportation remain dependent on others; plan to address.
• D. IADL evaluation is not part of the Needs Met Rating.

Answer: (C)

Partially Met means the person can handle some IADLs on their own or with limited support, but not all tasks are independently managed, and there is a plan to address the remaining gaps. In this example, meal planning is supported in some way, showing partial capability, while managing finances or transportation still depends on others. The presence of a plan to address those remaining needs is key, signaling progress toward full independence even though it isn’t there yet. This differs from a fully independent scenario (all tasks done without help) or a situation with no independence at all, and it aligns with a rating that includes steps to improve still-needed areas.
