Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data regarding home safety from a client who is prone to falls. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as placing the client at additional risk?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Covering electrical cords with throw rugs is a risk factor for falls, as the client may trip over them or get tangled in them. It is also a fire hazard. Removing wheels from chairs and using a stool riser are safety measures, and a mattress on the floor may reduce injury risk from falls.
