Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a patient who reports a previous fall and is using the SPLATT acronym. Which questions will the nurse ask the patient? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A, B, C, D
Rationale: The correct answers are A, B, C, and D. The SPLATT acronym stands for Symptoms, Previous falls, Location, Activity, Time, and Trauma.
Therefore, the nurse should ask where the fall happened (
A), what the patient was doing when they fell (
C), and what types of injuries occurred after the fall (
D) to assess the circumstances surrounding the fall. Asking about the time of the fall (
B) helps determine if there are any time-related factors contributing to the fall. These questions provide crucial information for assessing the patient's risk factors and potential interventions.
Choices E and F are incorrect because they do not directly pertain to the SPLATT components and may not provide as relevant information for assessing the fall risk in this situation.
