Area rugs are placed in the living room.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D. Dim lighting installed throughout the house.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>E.

Grab bars are installed in the bathroom.<\/strong> This is a safety feature, not a hazard. Grab bars can help prevent falls and provide stability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B. Medications are stored in a clear bag.<\/strong> While medications should be stored properly, the use of a clear bag is not inherently a safety hazard. Proper storage and labeling are important for safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. Area rugs are placed in the living room.<\/strong> Area rugs can be a tripping hazard, especially for clients who may have impaired mobility or balance after a stroke.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Dim lighting installed throughout the house.<\/strong> Poor lighting can increase the risk of falls and accidents, particularly for individuals with impaired vision or mobility issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E. The hot water heater is set at 54\u00b0C (130\u00b0F).<\/strong> This temperature is higher than recommended for preventing burns and scalds, which is particularly important for individuals with impaired sensation or mobility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing these hazards is crucial to creating a safe living environment for a client who has had a stroke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is performing a home safety assessment for a client who has experienced a stroke.
