What Is Jean Watson's Theory Of Fall Prevention

The other part of the agreement consisted of things that the staff can do to prevent falls and some examples included helping the client when they are weak, using a bed alarm for the client, keeping the room clutter free, checking up on the client hourly.

I also had never considered the opportunities to further my career as a nurse. Although I have relatives who are nurse practitioners, I never realized that you can become one after becoming a nurse, I always assumed it was a separate degree path, as well as nurse anesthetists. I had previously only thought that BSN was the farthest that nursing could take me.
