Learning Check
Check your understanding. Choose the best answer for each multiple choice question, then respond to the open response questions in your own words. Review the answer key at the end.
1. You finish the Stay Independent (STEADI) assessment with a patient. Which score is a clinical concern?
*
A
A score of 2 or more
B
A score of 4 or more, but only if the patient has also had a fall
C
A score of 4 or more, no matter what else is on the form
D
A score of 6 or more
2. During the footwear check, you see that a patient wears backless slippers around the house all day. What do you do?
*
A
Flag it as a fall risk. Suggest indoor shoes that are easy to take on and off, with a non-slip sole and no raised heel
B
Say nothing. Slippers are the patient's choice
C
Suggest shoes with a raised heel for better balance
D
Tell the patient to throw out the slippers and wear outdoor shoes inside
3. You walk through a patient's home with the Check for Safety assessment. How do you document what you find?
*
A
Write "home looks fine" to keep the form short
B
Write what you saw, note what you fixed with permission, and write a plan for hazards you couldn’t fix
C
Remove every hazard yourself and skip writing it down
D
List only the hazards you fixed during the visit
4. Mrs. Lopez, 80, scores 3 on the STEADI. As you walk down her hallway, you notice she limps. She says her left leg has felt numb for two weeks. She also says her hip aches in cold weather. Her chart already lists the hip pain, and it has not changed. What do you do?
*
A
Check no concerns. Her STEADI score is below 4
B
Check the STEADI concern because 3 is close to 4. Keep the rest in your notes
C
Check every concern on the form so nothing is missed
D
Check the new numbness in her leg and the change in how she walks, and alert the PCP or clinic-identified reviewer. Write the hip ache in your notes
5. A patient says, "I don't need to exercise. I'm too old for that." How would you start the exercise plan conversation?
*
6. What, if anything, are you still wondering about?
