During a home evaluation, you observe that Frances has two narrow steps with no railings to enter her home. She is currently using a wheeled walker for mobility, but her physical therapist anticipates that she will not need this much longer. What modification do you recommend to Frances for her home?
  1. A wheelchair ramp.
  2. Railings on each side of the entry steps with a grab bar next to the door for stability when stepping over the threshold.
  3. A railing on one side of the entry steps.
  4. A grab bar next to the door for stability when stepping over the threshold.
Explanation
Answer: B. You recommend railings on each side of the entry steps with a grab bar next to the door for stability when stepping over the threshold. Since Frances will not need a wheeled walker much longer, she should be able to enter her house through the front door. But she will need railings and a grab bar to stabilize herself.
