NCLEX Question of the Day
Review the question, check the correct answer, and read the rationale before tomorrow's prompt arrives.
A nurse is teaching an elderly patient about strategies to prevent falls at home. Which of the following suggestions is most beneficial?
-
Correct answer Install grab bars in the bathroom and ensure adequate lighting in all areas.
-
Keep rooms dimly lit to reduce glare and improve sleep quality.
-
Place scatter rugs on stairs and hallways for added decor.
-
Wax floors regularly to keep them clean and shiny.
Rationale
Installing grab bars in the bathroom and making sure all areas of the home are well lit are effective strategies to prevent falls. Waxing floors can make them slippery, scatter rugs can be a tripping hazard, and keeping rooms dimly lit can make obstacles less visible and increase the risk of falls.
