Answer to Question 2
A
Disease, injury, pain, physical development (e.g., age), and life changes (e.g., pregnancy) com-promise a person's ability to remain balanced. Medications that cause dizziness and prolonged immobility also affect balance. Impaired balance is a major threat to physical safety and contrib-utes to a fear of falling and self-imposed restrictions on activity. The pregnant woman's situation places her at greatest risk.
