Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A According to the fall assessment tool, the second leading risk factor for falls is confusion.
B According to the fall assessment tool, impaired judgement is the fourth leading risk factor for falls.
C According to the fall assessment tool, sensory deficit is the fifth leading risk factor for falls.
D According to the fall assessment tool, the greatest indicator of risk for falls is a history of falls.

Answer to Question 2

B
If you still do not understand, ask again is part of the S portion of the Speak Up Initiatives. Speak up if you have questions or concerns. You (the patient) are the center of the health care team, not the nurse. Ask a trusted family member or friend to be your advocate (advisor or supporter), not a nurse. Medication errors are the most common health care mistakes, not inappropriate medical tests.
