You are a home health care nurse visiting the home of an 86-year-old retired waitress to determine what alterations may need to be made to her environment. She was recently discharged from a rehabilitation facility where she received therapy after her stroke. She greets you at the door of her one-story house, proudly sharing that she has lived there for 65 years. Following her inside, you note that she exhibits minimal left-sided weakness but ambulates with a quad cane. You observe a clean but cluttered home with many pictures and memorabilia of her extensive family. Scattered throughout the home are colorful throw rugs, which she indicates help cover the stains from “accidents” of her two cats and one small dog, who seem devoted to her and follow her every move. As you visually scan her kitchen, you note her several medication bottles scattered throughout. In her bedroom, you note two electrical outlets to which are connected an alarm clock, a radio, a small television, a telephone and detached answering machine, an air conditioner, an oscillating fan, and her cell phone charger. Due to her extensive appliance use within her bedroom, you observe three extension cords crossing the room to connect to the outlets
