Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why D is correct
Within the long-term care framework of OAC 3901-4-01, custodial care is help with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and transferring, that can be provided safely without medical skill or licensed supervision. It is the least intensive care level and the type of care Medicare generally does not cover, which is why long-term care policies built around ADL and cognitive triggers exist to pay for it.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Licensed physical therapy is rehabilitative skilled care, a medically directed level above custodial.
- B) Registered-nurse wound care is skilled nursing care requiring licensed medical personnel.
- C) Intravenous antibiotic therapy is a classic example of skilled care that only licensed personnel may perform.

Custodial = ADL help, no medical training needed.
