A. Has limited vision at night when out of the home B. Is bedridden and requires assistance to get into a wheelchair C. Lives alone in a private residence with children about 5 miles away D. Would require a taxing effort to leave the home for a prescribed event

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Limited vision at night does not necessarily meet the criteria for being homebound; the focus is more on the overall inability to leave home without considerable effort.
B. Being bedridden and requiring assistance to get into a wheelchair could indicate severe mobility issues, but it does not alone determine homebound status.
C. Living alone with children nearby does not impact the assessment of being homebound; it is more about the client's ability to leave the home.
D. Requiring a taxing effort to leave the home for a prescribed event meets the criteria for being homebound, as it demonstrates significant difficulty in leaving the home without considerable effort or assistance.
