A patient with a diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) will be discharged to her home where she lives alone in 2 days. She can walk independently around her room without a device, but she becomes unsteady when walking longer distances around the nursing home. She also has difficulty walking on uneven surfaces outside. The woman is concerned about her ability to do her own shopping. She lives 2 blocks from her neighborhood grocery store and has walked there to buy groceries in the past. What advice should the OT give to the woman? Marked as spam
