The nurse determines that the client understands safety teaching for the home when the nurse visits and finds that the client has:
1. Changed the locks on the doors.
2. Installed safety strips in the shower.
3. Placed scatter rugs in the kitchen.
4. Placed all meat in the freezer.
2. Installed safety strips in the shower.
Rationale:
Safety strips in the shower can prevent falls. The client who installs the strips has understood the nurse's teaching. Changing the locks may promote safety if there have been frequent break-ins, but there is no evidence of that. Scatter rugs in any area of the home are a safety hazard. The nurse encourages the client to place perishable foods in the refrigerator when arriving home from the store.
