Correct Answer:
I will place a bath seat in my shower to use when I bathe."
Rationale:
🟡 High-risk area: Bathrooms are slip-prone; a bath seat lowers risk during bathing.
🟡 Energy conservation: Sitting enables rest breaks, preventing orthostatic dizziness and slips.
🟡 Transfers safer: A seat facilitates safe transfers with grab bars and reduces single-leg balance demands.
🟡 Consistent routine: Promotes habitual safety behavior, reducing variability that leads to falls.
🟡 Compatible with aids: Works well with handheld showers and nonslip mats for layered protection.
