Falls in the First 48 Hours

Most inpatient falls cluster in the first 48 hours—when patients, rooms, and routines are new. You’ll scan for high‑yield risks (delirium, orthostasis, unfamiliar assistive devices), build a personalized plan, and communicate it clearly across the team. Practice a room “hazard hunt,” safe toileting rounds, and mobility coaching that preserves dignity. Then, run a post‑fall huddle: what to assess, what to document, and how to prevent the sequel. Includes a quick‑start checklist and patient education one‑pager.
