NCLEX PN Practice Test Practice Question
The nurse recognizes that which factors place a client at increased risk for falls? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,D,E
Rationale: Orthostatic pulse change (C) indicates cardiovascular instability, increasing fall risk. Osteoarthritis of knees (D) impairs mobility and stability. Carbidopa/levodopa (E) for Parkinson's can cause orthostatic hypotension or dyskinesia, heightening fall risk. Age 50 (A) is not a significant risk factor alone, ovarian cancer (B) is unrelated to falls, and cane use (F) reduces risk if used correctly.
