Solution

The option that is NOT an appropriate environmental modification to minimize or reduce fall risk is C. "Ensure the lighting is as bright as possible, so bright the resident may need sunglasses to see". While it is important to have good lighting to prevent falls, making it so bright that a resident needs sunglasses could actually increase the risk of falls by causing discomfort or impairing vision.
