A home health nurse is performing an in-home fall assessment for a client. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a potential hazard for the client?

Choice A reason: Electrical cords secured to the baseboards are safe because they reduce tripping hazards. Loose cords across walkways would be dangerous, but secured cords are appropriate. Choice B reason: A computer chair with wheels that lock is safe. Locking wheels prevent the chair from rolling unexpectedly, reducing fall risk. Choice C reason: A standard toilet seat can be a hazard for clients at risk of falls because it is low and requires significant effort to sit and stand. Raised toilet seats or grab bars are recommended to reduce strain and prevent falls. This is the correct hazard identified. Choice D reason: Carpeted floors in the kitchen are not typically a fall hazard. In fact, carpeting can reduce slipping compared to smooth surfaces. The greater concern in kitchens is wet or greasy floors, not carpeting.
