Preventing falls in cancer patients involves a multi-faceted approach:
1. Regular Assessment: Regularly assessing patients for fall risk factors can help in early identification and intervention. 2. Physical Therapy: Engaging in physical therapy can help improve strength, balance, and coordination. 3. Home Modifications: Simple changes at home, such as removing tripping hazards and improving lighting, can significantly reduce fall risk. 4. Medication Review: Regularly reviewing and adjusting medications can help minimize side effects that increase fall risk. 5. Assistive Devices: Using canes, walkers, or other assistive devices can provide additional stability.
