Safe Infant Sleeping
Safe Infant Sleeping
Prepare an infant's sleep area next to where parents sleep. An infant should not sleep in an adult bed, on a couch, or on a chair alone or with a parent or anyone else.
Infant Toys Safety
Infant Toys Safety
Use large, soft toys without small parts, such as buttons. Possibility exists for a child's head to become wedged in the lowered mesh side or between crib slats, and asphyxiation may occur

Study Notes
Fall Prevention
- Multifactorial fall-intervention programs are being compared to single interventions to see which reduces the incidence of falls among hospitalized adult patients.
- Falls are the most common adverse events reported in hospitalized older adults.
- Falls in hospitals associate with longer lengths of stay and poorer patient outcomes.
- Individualized patient assessments and multifactorial interventions, including aerobic exercises, strength training, mobility strategies, medication management, consumer, and staff education, provision of effective assistive devices, and environmental modifications, reduce falls in hospitals.
- Falls are a frequent occurrence in the community setting.
- Individual exercise interventions associate with fall-related benefits.
- Benefits are more consistent across multiple fall-related outcomes for exercise, including benefits involving gait, balance, or functional training lasting about 12 months, with three exercise sessions per week.
Application to Nursing Practice
- Advocate for early mobility in hospitalized patients and collaborate with physical therapy to ensure appropriate gait training and assistive device use.
- Implement Universal Fall Precautions for all acute care patients, and tailor multi-interventions to the patient's own fall risk factors.
- Adopt hourly "purposeful" rounding with nurses intentionally using a standard checklist of actions for each patient.
- Benefits have been gained from using checklists that incorporate hospital-approved fall prevention interventions.
- Checklists promise to improve nursing staff adherence to each intervention and reduce falls.
- Checklists can be used during change-of-shift hand-offs to determine whether all prevention interventions are in place before accepting care of the patient.
- Community setting, evidence-based exercise programs are effective.
- Efficacy is associated when exercise is delivered by accredited exercise instructors.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) makes an evidence-based toolkit available through the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) program.
