Which attempt by the family to prevent an older frail adult from falling causes the home health nurse concern?

A. Keeping several low wattage night lights on in the evening: Adequate lighting reduces disorientation and prevents tripping hazards in dim environments. Night lights are a safe and effective fall-prevention strategy for older adults. B. Keeping the side rails up on the client's bed at night: Side rails can increase the risk of injury, as frail older adults may attempt to climb over them and fall from a greater height. This intervention is considered a restraint and raises safety concerns in fall prevention. C. Installing wooden railings on the stairway to the bathroom: Secure railings provide needed support and stability for frail adults navigating stairs, reducing the risk of falls. This is an appropriate home modification for safety. D. Encouraging the client to use a cane when ambulating: A cane improves balance and reduces fall risk when fitted and used properly. Encouraging its use supports safe mobility and independence in older adults.
