Serum iron, iron-binding capacity, ferritin, and albumin indicate undernutrition. The other laboratory values do not.

Can the person enter and exit the tub safely? Does the color of the toilet seat contrast with surrounding colors? Does the tub have skid-proof strips or a rubber mat in the bottom? and Is the height of the toilet seat appropriate? are all appropriate questions to ask when assessing the safety; the door lock is not helpful.
