LTC0009 - Preventing Falls: Keeping Residents Safe (NAB-NCERS Approval #: 112008-18880-1-SS)Falls in long-term care facilities are very common. More than half of all residents fall every year. But many falls can be prevented. The key is having a planned team effort in place at your facility to ensure safety and help prevent falls. This program will introduce you to safety measures you can take to help prevent falls in a long-term care facility. The purpose of this program is to provide nurses an under-standing of who is at risk for trips and falls in a long-term care facility and how to prevent them. |
