mrs. orwell had a stroke and now has lost the ability to properly move her left arm and leg
limited awareness of surroundings limited mobility medication sensory impairment paralysis

Explanation:

• Mr. Levine is being treated for pain after a surgical procedure. Pain medications are often used post - surgery, so the risk factor is medication.
• Miss Janey is 93 years old and forgetful. Age - related cognitive changes can be a risk factor.
• Mrs. Markus has arthritis with stiffness and pain. This affects her ability to move, so the risk factor is limited mobility.
• Joshua is in a coma. A coma impairs his awareness of the surroundings, so the risk factor is limited awareness of surroundings.
• Mr. Thompson forgets to wear glasses. Glasses are for vision (a sensory function), so the risk factor is sensory impairment.
• Mrs. Orwell had a stroke and can't move her left arm and leg. Stroke - induced inability to move is paralysis.

Answer:

Mr. Levine - medication
Miss Janey - age
Mrs. Markus - limited mobility
Joshua - limited awareness of surroundings
Mr. Thompson - sensory impairment
Mrs. Orwell - paralysis
