Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Evidence shows that hospital-based fall prevention programs that focus on a multifactorial approach reduce fall rates (CDC, 2006). Effective fall prevention programs include risk assessment, medication reviews with necessary modifications, use of assistive devices, exercise and strength training, and education for home safety.

Answer to Question 2

A
The patient's ideal weight gain is usually between 1 and 2 pounds per week. Serum electrolytes are out of normal range. This may indicate movement of electrolytes in response to infusion of fluids and glucose. The electrolyte levels in the solution may need to be adjusted. Serum glucose levels should be less than 200 mg/100 mL.
