A nurse is teaching a class at a local senior center regarding safety in the home. A client States. "l am afraid of falling because I live alone and have no one to help me." Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Rationale: A. Having a UAP stay daily is not realistic or necessary for all elderly clients. Home assistance is typically scheduled for specific needs, not for constant presence. B. Weekly contact with family offers emotional support but does not ensure safety in case of a fall or emergency. C. A personal emergency response system (PERS) enables the client to quickly summon help after a fall or medical emergency. This promotes safety and independence while addressing the client’s anxiety about living alone. D. Moving to a skilled nursing facility is not indicated solely due to fear of falling. Interventions should first focus on maintaining safety and independence in the client’s current home.
