The nurse designs a group exercise program at a senior center. Which room should the nurse choose for the program?
a. Room with a beautiful hardwood floor tastefully appointed with throw rugs
b. Spacious room with no windows but with fluorescent lighting and a natural stone floor
c. Room with a hardwood floor and large windows overlooking a garden area
d. End room with a linoleum floor and a fan for ventilation to compensate for the room's broken air conditioner
C
The hardwood floor provides an even surface. If the daylight from the large windows causes a glare problem, then curtains may be used. Throw rugs can slide underfoot and can lead to a fall, particularly when the sense of balance has declined with age. The fluorescent lighting can lead to a glare problem, and the irregularities of the natural stone floor can lead to a fall. The linoleum floor also presents a glare problem, and overheating is a risk in older persons who have a reduced sweat-gland response to heat.
