    A. Incorrect. Placing the bedside table within easy reach of the bed is important to prevent falls, rather than placing it away from the bed. B. Correct. Moving the client's bed to the main floor of the house reduces the need to use stairs, which can be a fall risk for clients at risk of falls. C. Incorrect. Keeping the lighting dim increases the risk of falls. Adequate lighting is important to prevent falls. D. Incorrect. Area rugs on slick floor surfaces can be hazardous and increase the risk of falls. They should be removed or secured properly.
