patient fell while being toileted by the nursing staff. The following three classifications
best describe all types of falls according to Morse (2002): CORRECT ANSWERS
Anticipated Physiological Fall
The nurse is completing in-patient admission assessments on a group of new patients.
Based on the intrinsic factors present which patient should the nurse identify as being
the highest risk of fall? The patient who has: CORRECT ANSWERS Decreased visual
acuity, walks with a cane and has arthritis.
The nurse is determining steps that could be taken to reduce the patient's extrinsic risks
for falls. Which nursing intervention could the nurse plan to reduce the patient's extrinsic
fall risk? (Select all that apply) CORRECT ANSWERS 1. Condition of flooring surfaces.

risk factor or single approach solution. The plan must be multidisciplinary and multi-
factorial in approach and be tailored to the individual. Which fall prevention program is
most likely to be effective. One which: CORRECT ANSWERS Encompasses a number
of different interventions and targets multiple risk factors.
What is one benefit of implementing fall risk assessment at the time of admission?
CORRECT ANSWERS All necessary fall prevention resources that target the specific
risk factors can be implemented early.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), what is the purpose of Standard
Precautions? Choose the BEST answer. CORRECT ANSWERS Protect healthcare
practitioner and patients from the spread of infections.
What are the components of Standard Precautions? (Select all that apply) CORRECT
ANSWERS 1. Personal Protective Equipment.
2. Safe handling of potentially contaminated equipment and surfaces in the patient
environment.
3. Hand hygiene.
What is the difference between Standard Precautions and Transmission Precautions?
Transmission Precautions are: CORRECT ANSWERS Used when the routes of
transmission are not completely interrupted by Standard Precautions alone.
