Prevent Falls

When deciding a patient is at risk for falling, we take into account the medications the doctor may have ordered, the new environment and the number of wires and cords you are attached to.

Call, don’t fall

• Ask for help to use restroom during hourly staff rounds.
• Use your call light for assistance.
• Never walk without footwear.
• Keep moving. Being active can reduce your risk of falling.

Remember, staff are never too busy, and you are never a “bother” to us!
