Question 1 of 5
A home health care nurse is conducting a fall risk assessment for a client who has osteoarthritis and lives alone. The nurse should identify that which of the following factors creates a risk for falls?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Throw rugs on hardwood floors. The presence of throw rugs on hardwood floors increases the risk of falls for individuals with osteoarthritis due to the potential tripping hazard they pose. The uneven surface and lack of secure grip can lead to slips and falls, especially for those with joint pain and mobility issues. Large pieces of furniture (
A), a bedside table (
B), and raised toilet seats (
C) do not directly contribute to fall risk in this scenario. In summary, the other choices are incorrect as they do not pose the same level of fall risk as throw rugs on hardwood floors for someone with osteoarthritis living alone.
