Assess the patient’s home for common hazards, including the
following: (1) loose area rugs and runner placed over carpeting, (2)
poor lighting in stairways, and (3) absence of smoke alarms.
Because of reduced depth perception, patients can trip on throw

members to keep all flooring in good repair, and advise them to
use low-pile carpeting. Thresholds between rooms need to be level
with the floor.
