1 Patient Fall Prevention Orientation Module Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare
2 Learning Objectives Define the goals of fall prevention Define a fall Identify patients at risk for falls Identify factors that put patients at risk for falls Describe fall protocols Identify strategies and interventions to prevent falls Describe the process for monitoring patient falls
3 Commitment to maintaining patient safety Many agencies are involved with setting standards of care and monitoring the incidence of falls, such as : -State and Federal Regulatory Bodies -Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) -National Database Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) -Joint Commission
4 Commitment to patient safety Every patient has the potential to experience a fall. Falls represent a serious hazard and pose a threat to quality and longevity of life, especially in older adults.
5 Goals of fall prevention Maintain patient safety and reduce fall risk and injury All education provided to patients and families regarding falls is patient and family focused
6 Defining Falls The definition for falls may vary depending on the patient care area Long Term Care (LTC) Unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor or other low level (for instance falling on a piece of equipment) Acute care (AC) A fall is defined as an unplanned descent to the floor (or extension of the floor, e.g., trash can or other equipment), with or without injury to the patient A fall includes assisted falls- when a staff member attempts to minimize the impact of the fall Source: NDNQI 2008
7 What Constitutes a Fall: Intercepted or assisted falls For instance, patient loses balance and would have fallen had it not been for staff intervention A fall without injury A patient rolls off a bed or mattress that was close to the floor Unless there is evidence suggesting otherwise, when a patient is found on the floor, the most logical conclusion is that a fall has occurred
8 How Can I Maintain Patient Safety? Provide adequate lighting Have resident/patient wear glasses/hearing aids when awake Place frequently used items within reach (phone, call light, water) Orient patient to surroundings including: Bathroom location Use of bed Location of call light Answer call light promptly
9 How Can I Maintain Patient Safety? Maximize activity and self care Ambulate with an assistive device if needed (measured and fit by therapy staff) Rise slowly from sitting to standing position Use non-skid footwear Educate patients and family about safety concerns and strategies to minimize risk for falls and injury. Hourly rounding to check in with patient to meet their needs (toileting, offering fluids, repositioning) Bedside reporting
10 How Can I Maintain Patient Safety? Minimize environmental hazards: Keep bed in low position Locks on beds, stretchers, and wheelchair Keep floor free of clutter and obstacles with special attention to path between bed and bedside commode Tissues, water, call light and phone should be within easy reach
11 Assessing for fall risk Fall risk assessment tools are used to identify patients who may be at a high risk for falling Each facility has their own risk assessment tool to identify which patients are at risk for falls You will have the opportunity to become familiar with the risk assessment tool at your site Identification of these risk factors are based on best practice guidelines
12 Common Fall Risk Factors Is there a history of falls? Is the patient taking any medication that could increase their risk for falling? Medications such as: Anticonvulsants Narcotics Sedatives Anti-emetics Benadryl Antidepressants Psychotropics Antihypertensives Anesthesia Laxatives Diuretics
13 Common Fall Risk Factors Is patient mobility compromised? Ambulates or transfers with an unsteady gait Chair bound or bedfast Needs assistance of person or ambulatory aid (cane, walker, crutches, furniture for support)
14 Common Fall Risk Factors Nurse Brown encourages her patients to ambulate independently From Nursing Matters: Is there a Nurse in the House? 4. Is the patient experiencing elimination problems? - Incontinence - Infection (UTI) - Urinary Retention - Constipation - Urgency - Diarrhea - Nocturia - Bowel preps - Foley catheter
15 Common Fall Risk Factors 5. Are there changes in mentation, cognition or perceptual history that may increase their risk for falling? Confused/ disoriented to time, place and person Difficulty understanding, reasoning or making needs known Cannot follow directions Impulsive (quick action taken by patient without thought of consequences) Poor judgment regarding assistance (attempts to get out of chair or bed inappropriately) Is the patient aware of their own limitations?
16 Common Fall Risk Factors 6. Is there any physical ailment that could increase their risk for falling? - Such as: - Syncope (fainting, lightheaded) - Vertigo (dizziness) - Weakness - Hypovolemia (blood or fluid loss) - CVA/Stroke
17 Common Fall Risk Factors 7. Is there any medical or physical impairments that could increase the risk for falling? - Such as: - Head injury - Seizures - Hypoxia - Multiple Sclerosis - Guillain Barre syndrome - Deficits in hearing, sight, or touch
18 Common Fall Risk Factors The chronological and developmental age of the patient should be considered The more risk factors the patient has, the greater the possibility that they may fall and sustain an injury

55 Summary We place our patients who are identified at risk into our fall prevention programs
56 Conclusion We individualize plans of care and identify goals to meet the needs of our patients
57 Summary And finally, we monitor falls and continually look for ways to keep our patients safe
58 Summary As a result of our fall prevention programs, we are establishing safer environments for our patients We continually strive to decrease the number and, more importantly, the severity of falls (those that result in patient injury) We accomplish this by establishing consistency within our facilities as it pertains to our guidelines, policies and procedures In addition, we maintain standards of care that are outlined by regulatory agencies (state, federal government, nursing quality databases, etc. ) In doing so, we demonstrate to our patients and families our commitment to their safety
