一位 70 歲客戶詢問如何預防居家跌倒。哪項建議是最重要的？
A 70-year-old client asks about fall prevention at home. Which suggestion is the most important to share?
- AKeep the house dimly lit at night夜間保持室內燈光昏暗
- BWear loose-fitting slippers for comfort穿著寬鬆拖鞋以增加舒適度
- CInstall grab bars in the bathroom在浴室安裝扶手
- DRemove all rugs and clear pathways✓ 正解移除所有地毯並清理通道
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
清除地毯與淨空路徑是預防跌倒的首要任務，因為雜物與滑動的地毯是導致高齡者跌倒的主因。加裝扶手（C）很重要，但屬於環境改善的次要步驟。環境光線需明亮以防視力不佳導致跌倒（A錯誤）；穿著鬆垮拖鞋易絆倒，應穿止滑鞋（B錯誤）。
Removing rugs and clearing pathways is the primary task in fall prevention because clutter and sliding rugs are the main causes of falls in older adults. Installing grab bars (C) is important but is a secondary step in environmental improvement. Lighting should be bright to prevent falls due to poor vision (B incorrect); loose slippers can cause tripping, so non-slip shoes should be worn (C incorrect).
✦ 台美臨床差異
台灣長照居家環境評估非常重視防跌，政府常有補助計畫改善居家設施，建議亦大同小異。
