EP 207: When Your Patient Falls
from Cup Of Nurses Hosted by Peter Findura
Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we dive into the world of healthcare and patient safety. In this episode, we'll be discussing the experience of a nurse when a patient falls. As healthcare professionals, we know that falls can have serious consequences, both physical and emotional, for patients and their families. Join us as we share our firsthand experience of dealing with a patient fall, the challenges we faced, and what we learned. We'll also discuss the importance of fall prevention strategies, such as hourly rounding, bed, and chair alarms, communication, and patient education, and how they can help reduce the risk of falls. 00:00 Introduction 04:07 Matt's Patient Fall Experience 11:25 Peter's Patient Fall Experience 17:51 Who is liable for patient falls 22:34 What to do when a Patient Falls 27:03 LAW FIRM: Most commons reasons why patients fall 30:52 Healthcare Joint Commission: Most commons reasons why patients fall 40:00 Wrapping up the show Cup of Nurses: https://fanlink.to/CONsite Frontline Warriors: https://fanlink.to/FWsite Apple https://fanlink.to/Applepodcast Spotify https://fanlink.to/Spotifypodcast Cup of Nurses Store https://fanlink.to/CONshop Frontline Warriors store https://fanlink.to/FWshop Interested in Travel Nursing? https://fanlink.to/TravelNurseNow Free Travel Nursing Guide https://fanlink.to/Travelnursingchecklist Nclex Guide https://fanlink.to/NCLEXguide Cup of Nurses FB Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/cupofnurses Frontline Warriors FB group https://fanlink.to/FWFBgroup
