    Exhibits Complete the following sentence by using the lists of options. The client is at risk for dropdowndue to thedropdown.

    Explanation & Rationale

    Rationale for Correct Answer: Falls due to genitourinary assessment findings: The client reports urinary frequency and urgency, and the urinalysis reveals positive nitrites and leukocyte esterase, indicating a urinary tract infection (UTI). These symptoms can increase nighttime bathroom trips and rushing to void, both of which raise fall risk, especially in hospitalized or postpartum clients. Rationale for Incorrect Choices: Impaired nutrition due to genitourinary assessment findings: There are no signs of inadequate intake, weight loss, or gastrointestinal symptoms. The client has a normal appetite and no vomiting or diarrhea, and the UTI is unrelated to nutritional deficits. Pressure injuries due to blood pressure findings: The client’s blood pressure is within acceptable limits for adults and does not suggest hypoperfusion or immobility-related risk. Additionally, no skin issues or limited mobility were reported. Falls due to mobility findings: While falls are possible with impaired mobility, the nurse noted that the client has a steady gait, indicating that mobility is intact and not contributing to fall risk.
