Answer to Question 1

structural support
Beds weigh between 1700 and 2100 lb; therefore the company that is leasing the bed needs to inspect the home for accessibility and structural support.

Answer to Question 2

C
Hospitalized older adults with functional disabilities often rapidly regress into a helpless state during hospitalization. Interventions that retain functional status include daily orientation cues for the patient, allowing the patient to be as independent as can be tolerated, and providing reassurance about the probability of transient delirium and the use of physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) daily.
Get the patient up and out of the room at least daily. Personalize the environment to make it more pleasant and comfortable. Medications with sedative or tranquilizing effects can increase the risk of falls.
