Question

question 13 out of 14:
a client’s family member wants to make changes to the bathroom to keep the client safe. which one of the following would also help promote the client’s independence?
install a hand held shower wand.
remove medications from the medicine cabinet.
put locks on the bathroom door.
reduce the water temperature to 120 degrees.

Explanation:

• Installing a handheld shower wand allows the client to have more control over their showering process, enabling them to bathe with greater ease and autonomy, thus promoting independence while also contributing to safety.
• Removing medications from the medicine cabinet would limit the client's access and independence in managing their medications.
• Putting locks on the bathroom door could potentially restrict the client's access to the bathroom or create safety issues, and it does not promote independence.
• Reducing the water temperature to 120 degrees is a safety measure but does not directly contribute to the client's ability to perform bathroom tasks independently.

Answer:

A. Install a hand held shower wand.
