Clutter in living areas is correct because cluttered areas increase
the client's risk for falls. The presence of scattered furniture and
objects on the floor can cause the client to trip and fall.
Dim lighting in the entrance hall is correct because a poorly lit
entrance hall increases the client's risk for falls. The nurse should
ensure that there is proper lighting in hallways so that the client
can see any potential hazards.
Bedroom on the second floor is correct because moving between
multiple levels of a house increases the client's risk for falls. If the
client must use the steps, the nurse can decrease the risk for falls
by marking the edges of the stairs.
Throw rugs on the floor is correct because throw rugs present a
tripping hazard, which increases the risk for falls. The nurse
should encourage the client to limit the use of throw rugs and
ensure that area rugs are securely fastened to the floor.
