Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Double vision affects visual acuity and depth perception, vertigo affects equilibrium and balance, and inability to control muscle movements leads to unsteady gaitall problems that may contri-bute to frequent falls. Ringing in the ears and cirrhosis do not overtly increase fall risk.

Answer to Question 2

Mouth care should be offered after deep breathing and coughing to clear the mouth of unpleasant taste.
