Some patients are unaware of safety precautions,such as keeping medicine,poisonous plants,or other poisons away from children or reading the expiration date on food products.A nursing assessment will identify the patient's level of knowledge regarding home safety so that safety problems can be corrected with an individualized care plan.Although the other responses are important,they are not the focus of home safety issues,but financial and emotional aspects of care.
