A nurse is implementing fall precautions for an older adult client at high risk for falls. Which intervention is appropriate?

FALL PRECAUTIONS for a high-risk client include: keeping the BED in the LOWEST position with wheels locked; CALL LIGHT and personal items within REACH; NONSKID footwear; adequate LIGHTING (including night lights); clear pathways (remove clutter); assist with ambulation/toileting; frequent rounding; possibly a bed/chair alarm. NCLEX safe care/safety. NOTE: keeping ALL FOUR side rails up is considered a RESTRAINT and can increase injury (clients climb over them) — generally avoided. Never leave a high-fall-risk client unattended in the bathroom. A dark room INCREASES fall risk. Falls are a major safety/quality concern; knowing appropriate fall precautions is heavily tested.
