A nurse is caring for a client with a history of falls. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Ensure the call light is within reach. This is important for a client with a history of falls as it allows them to easily call for assistance when needed, reducing the risk of falls. Keeping the bed in the highest position (A) may make it difficult for the client to get in and out of bed safely. Dimming the room lighting at night (C) can increase the risk of falls due to poor visibility. Encouraging the client to wear slippers with no traction (D) can also increase the risk of falls as it can lead to slipping.
