F 0689 Preventive Strategies to Reduce Fall Risk Level of Harm - Actual harm Policy: The goal of fall prevention strategies is to design interventions that minimize fall risk by eliminating or managing contributing factors while maintaining or improving the resident's mobility. Residents Affected - Few Procedure: - The facility will complete a fall risk assessment on each resident at the time of admission to the facility. The Fall Assessment Tool will be used to assess the resident's risk of falls. - Residents that score in the high risk category (10 points or greater) will be placed on fall precautions and care planned for fall prevention. - The clinical record and resident will be flagged to alert personnel of the resident' s risk status. Interventions will be designed to protect the resident's privacy. - After risk is assessed, individualized nursing care plans will be implemented to prevent falls. The resident and family members will be educated on methods to prevent falls. Interventions will focus on manipulating the environment, educating the resident/family, implementing rehabilitation programs to improve functional ability, and care monitoring of medication side effects. - Medical Strategies: a) Identify residents at risk for falls, b) Identify sign/symptom of underlying disease or medication effect that requires a clinician' s attention in order to rule out reversible acute problems, c) Identify chronic medical conditions that may contribute to fall risk and treat appropriately, d) Assess medications, e) Provide PT/OT evaluation and treatment as needed. - Residents who fail to respond or improve with medical treatment and continue to remain fall risks may respond to a number of rehabilitative strategies. Rehabilitative strategies will be evaluated for all high risk residents . - Incident Reporting: Reported falls will be thoroughly investigated to assess fall risk factors and contributing factors in order to provide a safe environment for the resident(s). - Nursing Care: Maintain regular toileting schedules. Use bedside commodes during hours of sleep, if needed. Provide properly fitting, nonslip footwear. Place confused residents close to nurses' station for close observation, if possible. Establish frequent nursing rounds on high risk residents. Provide assistive ambulation. Encourage daily exercise. Increase nursing staff. - Environment: Place the call light and other objects within easy reach. Use bed/chair alarm systems to monitor unsafe activity as needed.
