b.

The nurse may provide general recommendations for safer seating options, especially if the client is at risk of falls or has difficulty getting up from low chairs.

d. The presence of wall-to-wall carpeting in the living room is a common feature in many homes and does not necessarily pose a safety hazard. However, the nurse may discuss general home safety measures, such as keeping the carpet clean and free of tripping hazards, especially for clients with mobility issues.
