As you continue the home evaluation, you notice that Frances’ home is full of beautiful antique furniture, accent tables, and handmade throw rugs. What do you tell Frances regarding her home?
  1. “Frances, your home looks like an antique store! Why don’t you get rid of all this junk?”
  2. “Frances, you have a beautiful home. I can see why you want to come back here to live.”
  3. “Frances, you have a beautiful home. But your accent tables and throw rugs might be safety hazards. Can someone help you move them out of the way until you are stronger?”
  4. “Frances, your throw rugs might cause you to trip. Have someone tape them down with duct tape, so you don’t catch your walker on the edges.”
Explanation
Answer: C. Frances has beautiful belongings that she is probably very proud of, so you don’t want to insult her. You do, however, want to point out that small pieces of furniture and throw rugs can be safety hazards. Frances might trip over them. Ask if someone could help her move them until she can move around without a wheeled walker.
