words)

Due to their condition, a client with urine incontinence is more likely to fall. The more serious the
problem, the higher the likelihood to the client; this is particularly true for individuals who do not handle
their illness properly or at all. The severity of the disease is often evaluated by counting the number of
episodes, which is commonly done using a diary system in which the patient keeps track of how much
liquid they drink and how frequently they pass pee. If the measures revealed that this client was at a
very high degree of danger owing to incontinence, you would understand to highlight this concern and
emphasize its resolution over other smaller ones.

severity of the injuries and the various variables that lead to the falls. Some occurrences may be out of
your hands. It is possible that the individual is sick. Poor weather, in particular, may raise the chances of
falling. It is critical to capture such concerns in incident reports to avoid unfairly blaming employees.

enhances their risk of falling. Not eating adequately and drinking more water might also make it harder
for them to walk about securely.

Question 35. Why stroke can be a contributing factor to an older person?s risk of falling? Give three
reasons.

Individuals who have had a stroke are more likely to have a hip fracture, and following such a fracture,
they are less likely to regain independent movement. Furthermore, fear of falling is a typical side effect
of falls, which can result in reduced physical activity, social isolation, and, finally, loss of autonomy.

Question 36. What action would you take to minimise the risk of falling for a person after a stroke? (40-
