Question 4 of 5

A client is hospitalized for the first time, which of the following actions ensure the safety of the client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Hospital safety for a newly admitted client focuses on preventing falls, injuries, and disorientation, especially in an unfamiliar environment. Keeping side rails up at all times (C) is a key measure to prevent falls, particularly during sleep or if the client attempts to get out of bed unassisted, which is a common risk during initial hospitalization. Option A (removing unnecessary furniture) reduces clutter and tripping hazards but is less directly tied to immediate bedside safety. Option B (lights on at all times) may disrupt sleep and is impractical unless needed for observation, not universally ensuring safety. Option D (hiding equipment) may reduce anxiety but does not directly enhance physical safety and could hinder access to necessary tools. Side rails provide a physical barrier, aligning with evidence-based fall prevention protocols in hospitals, making C the most effective safety action for a first-time hospitalized client.
