Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frail older adults should not ride in the passenger seat of the car with airbags unless the seat can be at least 10 inches from the airbag.The impact of the airbag,if deployed,can cause serious injury because of the client's frailty.There are no data supporting the client's orthostatic hypotension.He or she should change positions slowly anytime,not only when riding in a car.There are no data that say that the client tires easily or cannot walk when grocery shopping.Sunshine in moderation can lift the spirits and provide vitamin D,but it is not the safety aspect that needs to be stressed.
