Abstract/Description
Fall Prevention: The Use of Chair and Bathroom Alarms in Nursing Practice
The presentation examines the evidence supporting the use of chair and toilet alarms as fall-prevention strategies in hospital settings. With the use of Nightingale’s Environmental Theory and current research, the project evaluates existing fall-prevention strategies and recommends improvements to hospital policy to promote patient safety, improve quality of care, and support positive patient outcomes. These goals can be achieved through regular implementation, continuous evaluation, and fall-prevention interventions that are individualized.
