A nurse is reviewing home care with a client who has multiple sclerosis. Which of the following precautions should the nurse recommend to promote client safety?

A. Orthotic devices, such as braces or splints, help maintain mobility and prevent injury. They should not be avoided; they enhance safety and stability. B. Walking with feet close together decreases balance and increases fall risk. Clients with MS should widen their stance to improve stability. C. Using a cane provides support, balance, and stability, reducing the risk of falls due to muscle weakness or incoordination. Adaptive devices allow clients to maintain independence safely. D. A “rigorous” exercise plan can cause fatigue and worsen MS symptoms. Moderate, balanced exercise with rest periods is recommended.
