Poor lighting, clutter, and narrow spaces increase an older adult's risk of falling. Large, bright, open spaces allow for greater ease of mobility.

Answer to Question 2

C
Signs of impending death include a rapid, weak pulse; decline in blood pressure; dyspnea or brief apnea; slower or no pupil response to light; profuse perspiration; cold extremities; incontinence; and pallor or mottling of skin.
