NCLEX RN Practice Question

A nurse is conducting a home visit for a 72-year-old client who was recently discharged after hospitalization for a fall-related hip fracture. The client lives alone and mentions that they have difficulty reaching items placed on high shelves and getting to the bathroom at night. Which intervention should be prioritized to promote the client’s safety at home?

  • Review the client’s medication regimen to determine if side effects may contribute to nighttime accidents.

  • Install assistive devices, such as grab bars in the bathroom and a bed rail for nighttime safety.

  • Encourage the client to use step stools to reach high shelves and provide education on safe use.

  • Refer the client to outpatient physical therapy for strengthening exercises and gait training.
