You are caring for Mrs. J., who is a 78-year-old widowed female. She has had two falls in the past 3 months with one leading to a wrist fracture. She is living in her own two-story home. She takes multiple medications for her rheumatoid arthritis, glaucoma, and hypertension. Mrs. J. has decreased mobility and diminished stability on her feet over the last six months and thinks this is because she doesn't "get out much when the weather is cold."
In a 2 page paper, develop a fall prevention plan for Mrs. J. Discuss the risks for this client, appropriate interventions, and education that would help reduce her risk for falling.
