A nurse is caring for an elderly client living at home. What interventions can the nurse implement to reduce the client’s risk of falling? (Select all that apply)

Keep the stairs well-lit

Use shower chairs and raised toilet seats

Keep stairs free of clutter

Go upstairs swiftly while holding the side rail

Encourage the use of non-slip socks or shoes

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,C,E

Adequate lighting is essential to help the client see the stairs and avoid tripping or falling. Using shower chairs and raised toilet seats can help the client maintain their balance while performing daily activities. Objects on the stairs can cause the client to trip and fall. Encouraging the use of non-slip socks or shoes can improve the client's grip and reduce the risk of slipping.

On the other hand, going upstairs swiftly while holding the side rail is not a recommended intervention as it can increase the risk of tripping or losing balance.

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","D"]

Explanation

The infant should be put to bed on their back to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The infant's car seat should be rear-facing in the back seat as it provides the best protection in case of a crash. The infant should remain in their car seat while in the vehicle to ensure their safety.Formula should not be warmed in the microwave as it can cause hot spots that can burn the baby's mouth.

E is incorrect because children do need sunscreen at this age if they are exposed to the sun. However, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and to dress them in lightweight clothing that covers the skin. If sunscreen is used, it should be a mineral-based sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 and applied to small areas that are not covered by clothing.

A. Do you know how to change your dressing? B. What did your health care provider tell you about your need for this hospitalization? C. You mentioned your dad earlier. Did he develop complications related to high blood pressure D. How do you manage your pain at home?

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The statement “What did your health care provider tell you about your need for this hospitalization?” creates a barrier to communication because it assumes that the patient has been informed by their healthcare provider about their hospitalization.

However, this may not be the case and can lead to misunderstandings or miscommunications.
