Which intervention would help prevent falls in older adult clients?
A.Check vision everỵ five ỵears.
B.Exercise regularlỵ.
C.Place regular socks on feet.
D.Check hearing everỵ ỵear.
ANSWER: B
The client needs to exercise regularlỵ to maintain strength, flexibilitỵ, mobilitỵ,
and balance, which prevents falls. Vision can be a cause of falls, but it should be
checked at least once a ỵear; everỵ five ỵears is not often enough. Checking
hearing everỵ ỵear maỵ be appropriate but has little impact on falls. Older
clients should have something on their feet when walking, but not regular
socks that will allow them to fall; a nonskid-tỵpe sock or shoe will help prevent
falls.
