The patients are still in a daze, and it is possible after the clinical personnel leaves, the patient tries to climb out of bed unattended, resulting in a fall (Stempniak, 2015). Lee (2015), states “You disturb them, wake them up

Improvement Initiative-Falls Management Program in Nursing Homes Falls are very common among nursing home residents. Residents in nursing homes are more likely to fall due to their age, chronic health conditions, medication, or change in the environment after admission to the facility. The people who provide care every day in nursing homes know firsthand how critical falling can be to the health of the residents they care for. Fall prevention is critical in order to decrease falls in nursing homes.

the long-term care (LTC) facilities fall more frequently, more than any other environment. Falls in LTC have been on going huge problem for more than a decade now. According to Center of Disease Control (CDC, 2009) each year, a typical nursing home with 100 beds reports 100 to 200 falls. Many fall go unreported. Between half and three-quarters of nursing home residents fall each year. That’s twice the rate of falls among older adults living in the community. Fall in LTC is very serious because most

paper will discuss falls prevention in the older adult over the age of 55 and new and alternative interventions for fall prevention compared to current practice. The desired outcome of the paper is to provide information for fall prevention and, therefore, decrease the occurrence of falls. First, in order to understand the importance falls have within the clinical setting, statistics showing the mortality, morbidity and financial impact should be understood. The occurrence of falls within the acute

Falls are the most frequent and devastating accidents in older adult (WHO, 2004). There are different interpretations related to falls. For instance, according to healthcare professions fall is an event leading to ill health and injuries, whereas older adults define it as a loss of balance (Zecevic et al., 2006).
