ANS: C
Leave lights on or off at night, depending on the patient's cognitive status and personal preference. Keep the wheels of any wheeled device (e.g., bed, wheelchair) in the locked position. Keep patient belongings (e.g., tissues, water, urinals, personal items) within the patient's reach. If the patient is ambulatory, require the use of nonskid footwear (socks or shoes).
