Fall Prevention Among Elderly Clients and its Impact on Nurses
This literature review talks about fall prevention among elderly clients, and the effectiveness of non-slip socks in hospital settings, and the impact it has on nurses. Falls in older adults are a major public concern, which can lead to chronic pain, inability to perform daily activity, and increased length of stay in hospitals. These facts were conducted using GroundedDimensional Analysis (GDA) to explore nurses’ experiences with fall prevention in hospital settings, and the impact of those experiences on how nurses provide care to fall-risk patients(Strauss, 2008). According to the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), falls are second only to medication error. For the literature review, we search for fall prevention, older adults, non-slid socks, nurses, and articles written by nurses. The information was obtained from scholarly articles.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) defines patients’ falls as an “unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor or lower level.” Fall is stated to be one of eight “never events” for hospital settings. It is noted that 700,000 to 1,000,000 elderly patients are injured annually, due to falls while they are already hospitalized. Fall prevention is a deliberating nursing process. Therefore, it is agreed upon that preventative measures, and fall precaution in the hospitals throughout the nation, should be a good implementation (Estupinan, Crumblish, & Risher 2018).
The study was to implement the use of non-skid socks, and bed and chair alarms. The goal was to provide the nurses and the nurse techs with knowledge of the preventative measures to lower fall risks. Success on the measure can only be accomplished by the collaboration of the staff members, and the patients’ participation. When nurses understand how to implement this protective measure, the nurse techs will also be directed on their responsibility as well, and during ambulation,the patients will asked for assistance. Fall incidents will decrease, and fewer injuries will be reported. In addition, findings have suggested that patients’ knowledge and perceptions may impact use of fall prevention strategies (Lim et al. , 2018 ;Tzeng & Zin , 2015).
Data were collected from two hospitals. Both have a nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:4. Recruitment was open to nurses who were taking care of high risk fall patients on the participating unit. Theoretical sampling was used to ensure density of categories (Strauss, 2008). The sample consisted of 27 RNs, and CNAs who were employed on a medical, surgical, or medical/surgical adult inpatient unit, and caring for patients aged 65 years and older.
Unstructured, open-ended, and focused questions wereused. For example, can you describe your concern about getting in trouble (reference)? Some nurses felt that they were under pressure to reduce the incidents of falls, in the form of frequent messages from administration, and to “get the number of falls down” (King, Pecanac, Krupp, Liebziet & Mahoney, 2016). The studies showed that the best way for hospital nurses on high-fall units, to achieve zero falls, was to restrict patients from moving around without assistance. In contrast, nurses who worked on low-fall units received positive feedback, because they were meeting the hospital goal of zero falls. The attitude of nurses in low fall units toward patients was not the restriction of patients,but the promotion of patient movement with the goal of progressing patients.
In addition to the increased risk of hospitalization hip fracture, and when one of these individual falls, it also resulted in a higher risk of dying within a year. Due to falling, patientsalso may suffer serious medical conditions (Strauss, 2008). It was determined that non-slip socks will be beneficial as an alternative to footwear while the patient is hospitalized. Contrary to what research is saying about the non-slip socks, nurses are vulnerable as well as the elderly from risk for fall. Staff nurses have the greatest impact on preventing and reducing patients’ falls due to their consistent contact and monitoring of patients. However, nurses become a second victim, as they blame themselves for what happened. They express self-doubt, anxiety, guilt and concern for liability. As hospitals demand to decrease patient falls, nurses are pressured to urgently respond to bed alarms. This results in chaos. Many nurses run in the hallway at the same time, the pressure to respond to bed alarms increase nurses’ anxiety and stress about caring for fall risk patients (King, Pecanac, Krupp, Liebziet & Mahoney, 2016).
In conclusion, it was found that when non-slip socks, bed and chair alarms, the medications that cause dizziness were reduced, and patients were more compliant when calling for assistance, both the patients and the nurses benefited. Education will remain an ongoing process. Prevention in hospital settings,and the impact of those experiences show how nurses provide care to fall-risk patients. Falls in older adult patients are a source of high injury rates and a common occurrence in hospital settings. Nonetheless, the use of bed/chair alarms is controversial. Several studies have demonstrated that these alarms are not effective in reducing fall rate or injurious falls (Shorr et al. , 2012). The study provides an in-depth view of fall prevention, which enhances the reader’s understanding of the subject. Hospitals have set zero falls goals, and exert pressure on nursing staff to attain the goal to lower unintended and potentially harmful consequences to nurses and older adults. Additional research is needed to acquire an improved understanding of how nurses provide care to fall risk patients.

ENG 259 - Technical Writing Newtown Creek Memo Assignment: Rhetorical Context: You are a petroleum engineer working for Enviro-Clean, a company dedicated to cleaning up polluted waterways in urban areas. In March 2017, Enviro-Clean won an $8.5 million New York city contract bid to clean up Newtown Creek, a polluted waterway located on the border between Brooklyn and Queens. In April 2017, you were assigned to the position of Lead Project Manager responsible for overseeing the direction of Project Newtown Creek. In this role, you have been directing three teams of subordinates so that Enviro-Clean can begin the actual clean-up efforts, which the company’s Board of Directors hope will take place before or by September 2018. By October 2017, several months after taking on your project manager role, you have successfully been interacting with your three teams of subordinates. (There were some glitches here and there but, overall, your interaction with the teams has been effective and productive.) You are confident that the clean-up efforts can actually begin in July 2018. Under your supervision, Team A, comprised of other petroleum engineers and a few Human Resources staff members, has been able to subcontract Pure H20, a highly qualified wastewater treatment engineering firm to test and treat the polluted water in the waterway throughout the duration of the clean-up efforts. Team B, mostly Quality Assurance professionals and company attorneys, was able to secure all the required city and state permits necessary to build your clean up facilities on the creek. Team C, comprised of Enviro-Clean mechanical engineers and outside mechanical engineering consultants, was able to design and build the necessary equipment your company will need to perform the clean-up efforts. On October 31, 2017, during a project planning meeting, Susan Canalski, Senior VP of Project Planning, tells you that the Board of Directors will probably be requesting a detailed progress report from you in the coming weeks regarding Project Newtown Creek. In the meantime, she asks you to send her a short memo (less than one page) that gives her a preliminary update discussing what’s been accomplished thus far regarding Project Newtown Creek. Task: Write a clear, concise memo offering an update concerning what’s been accomplished thus far regarding Project Newtown Creek. As you write, consider the above rhetorical information, and decide what should be included and what should not be included. Make sure you are being comprehensive enough without being unnecessarily wordy. Make sure your dates and target audience reflect the rhetorical context. Consider the visual elements of the memo as well as the verbal and consider using bullets to highlight the most important information. Make sure the memo is easy to read and make sure you proofread, proofread, proofread.
