Explanation:

A client who is dizzy is at risk of falling. Instructing the client to use the call - light before getting out of bed allows the nurse to assist and prevent falls. Raising the bed to the highest position increases the fall risk if the client tries to get out unassisted. Encouraging frequent walking may cause the client to fall due to dizziness. Lowering all side - rails makes it easier for the client to fall out of bed.

Answer:

A. Instruct the client to use the call light before getting out of bed.
