Risk factors for falls include a history of a fall (cause for this
hospitalization), a gait imbalance due to a fractured leg, and the
administration of oxycodone, an opioid analgesic. The client's age
(less than 65 years) and vital signs which are within normal limits are
not risk factors for a fall.

,6/28/2019 Exam 4 Chapters 27, 28, 29 : 201906E NNHS NUR166 NTTRF Concepts of Nursing II P. Emerson
Refer the caregivers of the toddler to a home health nurse.
Verbally confront the caregivers about the suspicions.
Correct!
Report suspicions about the abuse to proper authorities.
Nurses are both legally and ethically obligated to report abuse, either
suspected or confirmed. In many states, the failure to report actual or
suspected abuse is a crime. The role of the nurse does not include
confrontation. Referral is not necessary until the client has been
assessed to need home health care nursing services.
Question 4 pts
An older adult woman in a long-term care facility has fallen and sustained
several injuries. Which of her injuries would be the most serious fall-related
injury?
Correct!
Fractured hip
Fractured ulna
Lacerated lip
Thigh contusion

, 6/28/2019 Exam 4 Chapters 27, 28, 29 : 201906E NNHS NUR166 NTTRF Concepts of Nursing II P. Emerson
Falls can occur at any age, but a large percentage of older adults in
long-term settings suffer a fall. Hip fractures are among the most
serious fall-related injuries. Fractures can cause pain, permanent
disability, and even death. A fractured ulna may be painful but would
not cause the same potential for complications as a hip fracture.
Lacerations and contusions may be uncomfortable for the client but
will heal with limited risk for further complications.
Question 5 pts
A nurse enters a client's room and finds that the client has fallen on her way
to the bathroom. What is a prudent nursing intervention for this client?
Briefly leave the client in order to call the primary physician to assess the
client's condition.
Order x-rays or CT scans for the client, as needed.
Correct!
Document the incident, assessment, and interventions in the client's medical
record.
Do not file an event report unless the client is seriously injured in the fall.
The nurse is responsible for documenting the incident in the client's
record. Assess the client immediately and provide appropriate care
and interventions based on client status; ensure prompt follow-
through for any physician orders for diagnostic tests. An event report
should be filed in the case of a fall, as per facility policy.
