A nurse is assessing a client’s hospital room for potential safety issues. The client has been identified as a fall risk. Which condition requires the nurse's immediate intervention to enhance client safety?
The path to the bathroom is cluttered with equipment.
The cluttered path to the bathroom poses the highest risk to the client, as clients on fall precautions are often at greater risk when mobilizing. Ensuring a clear, unobstructed path reduces the likelihood of tripping or losing balance. While low lighting and improper positioning of the call light can increase the risk of falls or delays in assistance, they are less immediately critical compared to physical hazards like cluttered pathways. The IV pump alarm would require attention to ensure proper medication delivery but does not represent a direct fall risk in this scenario.
