一位 70 歲客戶擔心跌倒，哪項居家安全改善措施最有效？
A 70-year-old client is concerned about falls. Which modification is most effective for home safety?
- AInstalling bright fluorescent lights in all rooms在所有房間安裝明亮的螢光燈
- BRemoving throw rugs and clearing walkways✓ 正解移除地毯並清理通道
- CWearing socks for better grip on floors穿襪子以增加地板摩擦力
- DMoving to a ground-floor apartment搬到底層公寓居住

預防跌倒的黃金準則之一是「清除障礙物」。小地毯（throw rugs）與地面不平處是高風險因素。B（螢光燈）可能造成眩光反效果；C（襪子）反而易滑倒，應穿止滑鞋；D（搬家）是過度措施，非優先防跌手段。
Removing throw rugs and clearing walkways is the most effective modification because clutter and loose flooring are common tripping hazards for older adults. While adequate lighting is important, bright fluorescent lights may cause glare that worsens vision safety.
✦ 台美臨床差異
台灣多為透天厝或長輩家中雜物較多（囤積習慣），跌倒評估與衛教在台灣居家護理中更為關鍵。
