A. the client takes alprazolam
B. the client has a non-slip bath mat in his shower
C. the client uses a raised toilet seat
D. the client wears fitted slippers: A.
Alprazolam is a CNS depressant that can cause dizziness and orthostatic hypoten-
sion, which can cause the client to lose his balance and fall
3. A nurse has been reassigned from her regular area of work to a unit that is
short staffed. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
A. ask what she will be assigned to do
B. determine if she has the skills to complete the assignment
C. identify her options
D. notify the nurse manager about her concerns for client safety: A.
Before accepting the assignment, the nurse should clarify the complexity of the
assignment, such as how many clients she will be assigned to care for, what skills
are needed, and what resources are available to her.
4. A nurse is caring for an older adult client who states, "I am afraid that I may
fall while walking to the bathroom during the night." Which of the following
actions should the nurse take?
A. limit the client's fluid intake in the evening
B. obtain a bedside commode for the client's use
C. leave a nightlight on in the client's room
D. put the side rails up and tell the client to call the nurse before voiding: C.
This is an appropriate action for keeping the client safe. Night vision may be impaired
in older adult clients. If the client awakens in the night, a nightlight may help the client
to recognize the surroundings, decreasing the likelihood of disorientation. It will also
help to decrease the possibility of a fall on the way to the bathroom because the path
will be illuminated and the client will be less likely to trip over objects in the room.
