Question 1 of 5
A patient is admitted and is placed on fall precautions. The nurse teaches the patient and family about fall precautions. Which action will the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Keep the patient on fall risk until discharge. This is because fall precautions should be maintained throughout the patient's stay to ensure their safety. Checking on the patient once a shift (
A) may not be sufficient to prevent falls. Encouraging visitors in the early evening (
B) could distract the patient and increase fall risk. Placing all four side rails in the 'up' position (
C) can lead to entrapment or injury.
Therefore, the best practice is to keep the patient on fall risk until discharge to maintain a high level of vigilance and prevent falls effectively.
