two falls in the prior 12 months and difficulty with balance. The next step the nurse
practitioner should take is:
reassess the patient in 6 months.
obtain cognitive and functional assessment. Correct
assess respiratory assessment.
assess cardiac function.

High-risk older adults, namely those with a single fall in the past 12 months with
abnormal gait and balance and those with two or more falls in the prior 12 months, an
acute fall, and/or difficulties with gait and balance, require further assessment to
determine the reasons for the falls. Obtaining relevant medical history, physical exam,
cognitive and functional assessment and determining multifactorial fall risks are
essential to the preventing future falls.
Question:
When evaluating the sensory system, testing the spinothalamic tracts would include

columns tracts as well as the cortex would be assessed.
