A nurse is caring for four clients. Which of the following clients is at the greatest risk for falling?
Correct Answer: D

This client is at the greatest risk for falling due to postictal state, which can cause confusion, weakness, and unsteadiness. Seizures can impair coordination and balance, increasing the likelihood of falls. Diminished vision (
A) in well-lit areas may not pose as high a risk. Diuretics (
B) can cause dehydration but usually do not directly increase fall risk. Requiring assistance with ambulation (
