Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The installation and use of a smoke alarm in the home would indicate that home safety instruction has been effective.
Rationale 2: Scatter rugs would indicate that instruction on home safety has not been effective.
Rationale 3: Cords for appliances stretching across major walkways would indicate that instruction on home safety has not been effective.
Rationale 4: Inadequate lighting in major rooms of the home would indicate that instruction on home safety has not been effective.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The environment should be clutter-free because any clutter can cause the client to fall.
Rationale 2: Wearing terry cloth slippers would allow the client to fall. The client should have rubber skid-resistant soles.
Rationale 3: Providing adequate lighting will help prevent the client from falling.
Rationale 4: Noise should be kept to a minimum, but turning off alarms would endanger a client.
