A 67 year old female recently fell while at home and broke her hip. After being admitted to the inpatient rehabilitation department and working with an OT for 1 week the patient is ready to be discharged home the following day.

D) By assessing the home layout, the OT can advise the patient and her family about adaptations specific to their home that will help prevent the patient from falling. Carry over by the family is more likely to occur if they have specific recommendations regarding how to adapt the home. Marked as spam
