         7.1  NURSES

         Falls prevention is part of routine nursing care for all older patients in hospital.  Nurses need
         to  recognize  patients’  risk of falls, formulate  individualized  falls intervention  plans  and
         manage  patients  who  have  fallen.   Nurses  are also  an important component in  the
         implementation of successful inpatient falls prevention programmes.
