The most important danger that we encounter when we age is falling. It could be fatal, that causes death, or non-fatal, that causes wrists fractures, hip or pelvic fractures, and many more, that threatens the health, safety, and independence of older people thus putting a burden on caregivers and families. By implementing a fall prevention policy, we can help lessen the amount of falls, the severity of the injury, and the amount of falls that result in life-threatening stay at the hospitals. We could also enhanced our work practice making sure identifying patients who is at high risks for falls by doing an evaluation prior to being admitted into the facility, and checking what type of prescriptions they have that could lead to side effects
