During nighttime rounds, what check most helps prevent falls?
- A.Turning all lights fully on in every resident's room
- B.Locking each resident's call light inside the nightstand
- C.Asking if the resident needs the toilet and helping as needed
- D.Telling residents not to get up until the morning shift
Correct answer
C. Asking if the resident needs the toilet and helping as needed
Why
Many night falls happen when residents try to reach the bathroom alone, so offering toileting help prevents them. Residents cannot be forbidden to move, and lights or locked call lights do not meet the need.
