What Role Do Healthcare Providers Play in Fall Prevention?
Healthcare providers play a crucial role in preventing falls among cancer patients:
1. Assessment and Screening: Regular fall risk assessments should be part of routine care. 2. Education: Educating patients and caregivers about fall risks and prevention strategies is essential. 3. Collaborative Care: Working with a multidisciplinary team, including physical therapists and occupational therapists, can provide comprehensive care. 4. Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments can help monitor the patient's condition and adjust prevention strategies as needed.
