Patient Fall Prevention

Dear Guest;

In daily life, falling is a risk factor for injuries and extended medical care, but it is also preventable with a few straightforward steps.
It is crucial to take the appropriate safety precautions to avoid falls that can happen while you are receiving treatment.
Falls are avoided in our institution by taking the necessary precautions. Now, though, there are some obligations you must fulfill.

The following is a list of several fall prevention measures.

Throughout your hospital stay, your nurse will analyze your fall risk.

It is crucial for your safety that you act in accordance with the education provided by your nurse and the education of you and your companion, as defined by your identified fall risk category.
Your nurse's visitation time will be scheduled based on your level of fall risk.
You should always have access to tools like your phone and call bell. If they are not within reach, ask your nurse or family members for assistance.
The chance of falling while getting up is lower if your bed is at the lowest level. You shouldn't adjust the height level as a result without first telling your nurse.
When you are in bed, you should make sure that your bed's edges are always raised, and when you get out of bed, you should let your nurse and a family member choose when to lower the edges.
You could experience balance issues and fall as a result of your illness, your medications, your age, and other causes.
The tools being used are positioned in a way that poses the least risk to you, so you shouldn't move.
In order to avoid becoming disconnected from and becoming damaged, you should seek the assistance of your nurse when fixing the connections of treatment equipment such as drains, catheters, and serum on you to locations such as beds, stretchers, and wheelchairs. You should also refrain from moving these items to locations that your nurse does not deem appropriate.
You should be careful not to be alone during your closed transfer or to stand alone without support when the bed, chair, and stretcher brakes are parked.
When you need to stand up for bathroom and toilet needs, let your nurse know.
When you leave one unit for another after surgery or when you get up for the first time afterward, the nurse in charge will be with you.
You should stand up properly with the agreement of your nurse and doctor, especially in the postoperative period.
You must undoubtedly let the nurse know if you plan to be alone yourself in the patient room.
The beds used for our patients are appropriate for their age group. Baby beds are used for infants, nursing beds are used for nursing babies, child beds are used for children, and adult beds are used for adults. Please refrain from placing your child in an adult bed for their safety.
We kindly request you comply with the safety measures taken by our hospital to prevent you from falling and wish you healthy day.
