A nurse in a provider's office is assisting with the review of fall risk data collected on a client. Which of the following findings places the client at risk for a fall? Select all that apply.

A. While obtaining blood work is important for assessing the client's physical health, it is primarily a biomedical approach and does not necessarily encompass the holistic view of the client's overall well- being. It focuses on specific physiological data rather than the broader picture.
B. Requesting medication for pain relief addresses the physical aspect of pain management, but it does not consider the emotional, psychological, or social factors that may be contributing to the client’s chronic pain. This approach is more traditional and less holistic.
C. Checking oxygen saturation is a vital sign assessment that helps evaluate respiratory function. While it's important for overall health, it does not address the specific needs of a client experiencing chronic pain or provide a holistic view of their condition.
D. Deep breathing techniques can help reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and manage pain, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of the client's experience.

A. This action is important for maintaining balance during the move, but it should be done after establishing a strong base of support.
B. Engaging core muscles can help protect the nurse's back during lifting and moving, but it's not the first step in the process.
C. This provides a strong base of support, which is crucial for safe and efficient patient repositioning.
D. While raising the bed can help reduce the nurse's bending and straining, it's not the initial step. Proper body mechanics should be prioritized first.
