Help with long term goal for risk for falls

[Carolinne Lemos]

Hello,

I'm working on a care plan for school and can't come up with a long-term goal for risk for falls. P/t is 57 y/o post-op for benign suprasellar meningioma. P/t has Hx of intermittent seizures, generalized weakness, unsteady gait, and slurred speech. I really appreciate the help! ? Thank you ^^
