A Nurse Is Assessing an Older Adult's Risk for Falls

A nurse is assessing an older adult's risk for falls. One of the questions that she asks is whether the older adult has fallen in the past year. She asks this because individuals who have fallen:

B) are more likely to sustain injuries if they fall again than persons who did not fall in the past year.
C) have most likely developed a fear of falling as compared to persons who did not fall in the past year.
D) are most likely to have a balance disorder as compared to persons who did not fall in the past year.
