From medication administration to diagnostic test results, every detail must be accurately and promptly documented to provide the best possible care for patients.
Nursing Assessment01:29

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...

Summary

Nursing home falls are more common in the evening, particularly between 4 pm and 8 pm, and are linked to more severe injuries. This contrasts with hospital fall patterns, suggesting targeted interventions are needed.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Nursing Home Care
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Falls are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in nursing home residents.
  • Identifying patterns in falls is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if falls among nursing home residents occur more frequently at specific times of the day.
  • To compare the temporal patterns of falls in nursing homes with those in hospital settings.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of falls in a skilled nursing facility.
  • Data collected over a 6-month period (January to June 2007).

Main Results:

  • 220 falls were recorded; 66% occurred in resident rooms, and 48% resulted in injury.
  • A significant peak in falls (27%) occurred between 4 pm and 8 pm (P < .001).
  • Evening falls were associated with more serious injuries than daytime falls (P = .03), and the night shift (11 pm-7 am) had the lowest fall percentage (16%).

Conclusions:

  • Fall prevalence in nursing homes varies by time of day, differing from hospital patterns.
  • Further research is needed to understand the causes of these temporal fall patterns.
  • Findings suggest implementing time-specific interventions to reduce fall risk in nursing homes.
