Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A drop in blood pressure may follow bathing; sitting down after bathing lessens the risk of the elderly bather falling because of low blood pressure. Nonslip surfaces inside tubs and shower stalls are important, but this choice is not a reason for having a seat outside the tub. It is not true that the elderly use the bathroom often and can benefit from the rest. It is also not true that most elderly have an age-related problem with discriminating hazards.
