Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Comfortable shoes with good support will help decrease the risk for falls. Scatter rugs should be eliminated, not just tacked down. Activities of daily living provide range of motion exercise; these do not need to be taught by a physical therapist. Falls inside the home are responsible for many injuries.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
D
Hip abduction and adduction is assessed by having the patient move the hip joint laterally and medially.
