Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. The client has gastroesophageal reflux disease. GERD does not typically increase the risk of falls.
B. The client is 62 years old. Age alone does not necessarily indicate a high fall risk, especially if the client is relatively healthy.
C. The client smokes half a pack of cigarettes per day. Smoking is a risk factor for many health issues but is not directly linked to an increased risk of falls.
D. The client has urinary incontinence. This is correct. Urinary incontinence increases the risk of falls, particularly if the client needs to frequently get up quickly to use the bathroom, potentially slipping or tripping.
