Final answer:

Fall monitor devices and alarm programs have not been shown to reduce falls in older persons. Exercise programs, risk factor assessment and follow-up programs, environmental inspection and modification programs, and multicomponent prevention programs have all been shown to reduce falls in older persons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the options listed, fall monitor devices and alarm programs have not been shown to reduce falls in older persons. Exercise programs, risk factor assessment and follow-up programs, environmental inspection and modification programs, and multicomponent prevention programs have all been shown to reduce falls in older persons. These programs address various factors that contribute to falls, such as improving strength and balance, identifying and modifying environmental hazards, and addressing individual risk factors.
