An 86-yeаr-оld wоmаn hаs a 6-year histоry of generalized anxiety disorder as well as a fear of falling. She recently had an increase in intensity of her anxiety symptoms, along with the onset of mild cognitive impairment. What is the most likely explanation of her symptoms?
An 85-yeаr-оld wоmаn hаs experienced twо falls in the past month. She is at your office today for her regularly scheduled psychotherapy session. She lives in her own home, and although she is independent in caring for herself, she has an adult daughter who lives nearby and checks on her frequently. She says that neither fall resulted in injury, and this assessment is confirmed by her daughter who brought her mother in for today’s appointment. The patient is a pleasant, well-groomed woman who attributes these events to slipping on a loose throw rug on one occasion and rushing to answer the phone and losing her balance on the other. She has full recollection of the events surrounding these falls. Her medical history is remarkable only for hypertension, which she has taken enalapril 5 mg/day for many years. On examination she is in no distress. Her blood pressure is 130/80 and no orthostatic changes are noted. The rest of her examination in relatively unremarkable, but when you ask her to get out of the chair to assess mobility and balance, you notice that she braces herself on the arms of the chair, and it takes more than 30 seconds for her to rise from the chair, walk 10 feet, turn around, return and be seated. Her daughter asks, “Are there any interventions that might be helpful in decreasing the risk of future falls?” Which of the following is most correct with regard to fall prevention for this patient?
