Answer:
Personal care behaviors are known as activities of daily living, whereas more complex behaviors that further improve the quality of life are known as instrumental activities of daily living.
Explanation:
- In our day-to-day lives, we tend to take care of ourselves and the ones around us as if it is a part of our daily routine. Most of the time, we do not even put in any kind of artificial efforts to take care of ourselves and the others as it is a spontaneous action done by us.
- When we choose to intentionally take excessive care of ourselves, the act becomes instrumental and is thus referred to as an instrumental activity.
