There will be fewer injuries sustained as a result of falls in hospitals.

This is due to the fact that nurses

who have received training in fall prevention will be careful with their patients and will be aware of
strategies and various ways in which they can educate their patients on how to prevent themselves from
falling, such as calling for help when in need of something to avoid falling and potentially causing injuries
(Tzeng, 2011).

The length of the patient's protracted hospital stay will shorten. This is due to the fact that patients who
sustain injuries from falling have a significantly higher risk of having their hospital stays extended. By
receiving education on how to prevent falls, nurses will be able to reduce the likelihood that their
patients will experience them. As a consequence, there will be a lower incidence of patient injuries
brought on by falls, which will lead to the termination of patients' need for extended hospital stays
(Wilson et al., 2016).

decrease in the number of fatalities resulting from injuries sustained from falling. For people aged 65
and older, falling is the most common way in which they get an injury that ultimately results in their
death from an injury-related cause. Falls are the leading cause of both non-fatal injuries and
hospitalizations for treatment of injuries that do not result in death. By assisting their patients and
instructing them on how to protect themselves against falls, nurses who have received training in fall
prevention will be able to make a significant contribution toward reducing the number of deaths that
are caused by injuries (Tzeng, 2011).

The conception and execution of an interprofessional fall prevention education program are absolutely
necessary for the various stakeholders and professionals working in the healthcare industry. Multiple
fields of study are represented in the multidisciplinary prevention program. These fields include
medicine (physicians who diagnose malnutrition and dehydration), psychiatry (to treat patients
experiencing adverse reactions to medication), occupational therapy (OT), and physical therapy (PT).
Rehabilitation, occupational therapy, and social work educate patients about speech impairments and
falls in order to alleviate patients' problems with dehydration and swallowing (Wilson et al., 2016).

result improvements for the patient's health Falls are linked to a worsening of health because, for
instance, if a patient is recuperating and is on the verge of being discharged from the hospital, and the
patient sustains an injury from a fall, this will prompt other health difficulties, and the patient will have a
worsening of his health. This indicates that he will need to participate in additional therapies, all of
which will result in detrimental effects on his health. These injuries will be reduced, and as a
consequence, there will be an improvement in the health outcomes for the patients. This can be
accomplished by employing nurses who are knowledgeable about the prevention of falls. This is due to
the fact that they will not sustain fall injuries, which would necessitate the need for treatment.
There will be a decrease in the financial difficulties associated with treating patients. The costs
associated with falls are significant, and the conditions they cause are costly to treat. through the
teaching of nurses on how to prevent falls. Because of their education, they will be better able to
prevent patients from falling and recommend measures to avoid falling, which will result in a reduction
in the weight of these costs.
