For each applicable action, the activitydefinition is applied as described in the $apply operation of the ActivityDefinition resource, and the resulting resource is added as an activity to the CarePlan. If the ActivityDefinition includes library references, those libraries will be available to the evaluated expressions. If those libraries have parameters, those parameters will be bound by name to the parameters given to the operation
