These are the actions that should be taken:

  • Call for assistance.
  • Assess for injury.
  • Notify the physician.
  • Assess the situation for precipitous factors (e.g., hypotension, slippery footwear, etc.).
  • Fill out an incident report.

Patient falls account for 40% of all adverse events and are the most commonly reported patient safety incidents. Caretakers are accountable for locating, controlling, and removing any risks to patients because falls are a major concern in healthcare. Patients and healthcare professionals are put at risk throughout all patient-handling tasks, including positioning, transfers, and ambulation.

Due to their diminished strength, diminished balance, limited mobility, and diminished sensory awareness, older persons may be more susceptible to falling. Calling for assistance, checking for injuries, notifying the doctor, determining whether there are any precipitating factors, and writing an incident record are some interventions.
