A nurse is reviewing a fall risk assessment for a client.
Which of the following findings place the client at risk for a fall? Select all that apply.

Choice A rationale
While tremors and decreased mobility are common symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, they are not the most significant impact on a patient’s life. These physical symptoms can be managed with medication and physical therapy.
Choice B rationale
Loss of independence is often the most significant impact on a patient’s life. As the disease progresses, patients may find it increasingly difficult to perform daily activities and may require assistance.
Choice C rationale
Age-related changes can contribute to the progression of Parkinson’s disease, but they are not the most significant impact on a patient’s life. The disease itself, rather than aging, is the primary cause of the symptoms.
Choice D rationale
Neurologic deficits are a result of Parkinson’s disease, but they are not the most significant impact on a patient’s life. The loss of independence that results from these deficits is often more impactful.

Choice A rationale
Neurogenic bladder is a condition where a person lacks bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord or nerve condition. This is not the most fitting answer because the scenario does not provide information about any neurological conditions.
Choice B rationale
Urinary retention can lead to urinary tract infections. The retained urine provides a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to infection.
Choice C rationale
Bladder outlet obstruction is a condition where the bladder is not able to empty properly. While urinary retention could be a symptom of this condition, the scenario does not provide enough information to suggest this diagnosis.
Choice D rationale
Genitourinary System Effects is a broad term that refers to any effects on the genital and urinary systems. This is not the most fitting answer because it is less specific than Choice B2.
