4. Checking on the client at least hourly during the night

While checking on the client frequently is not incorrect, night-lights in dark halls, bathrooms, and the rooms of children and older adults help maintain safety by reducing the risk of falls. The re-maining options are more directed at controlling urinary output than preventing injury.
