Cup Of Nurses

Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we dive into the world of healthcare and patient safety. In this episode, we'll be discussing the experience of a nurse when a patient falls.

As healthcare professionals, we know that falls can have serious consequences, both physical and emotional, for patients and their families. Join us as we share our firsthand experience of dealing with a patient fall, the challenges we faced, and what we learned.

We'll also discuss the importance of fall prevention strategies, such as hourly rounding, bed, and chair alarms, communication, and patient education, and how they can help reduce the risk of falls.
