PICOT question: Compared to standard practice, what evidence-based nursing intervention can be implemented that can reduce rates of falls among elderly in 10 weeks’ time frame?
Falls are recurrent in nature and the impairments such as fractures, social, emotional, psychological, economic, and behavioral consequences associated with falls account to chronic
causes of morbidity in elderly. The risk is further increased with prior history of falls and presence of cognitive decline. Therefore, it becomes vital to explore strategies that can help
reduce incidence of falls.
