Explanation:

• For the first option: Safety and independence are both crucial for older adults with dementia, and neither is less important than the other. So this is false.
• For the second option: Outside the home, there are more unpredictable factors (like traffic, unfamiliar environments, strangers) compared to the controlled environment of the home. So it is more difficult to keep a client with dementia safe outside the home, making this statement true.
• For the third option: As explained above, outside the home has more risks, so it's not easier. This is false.
• For the fourth option: Older adults with dementia still have the ability to feel pain, so this is false.

Answer:
