Nick (@[email protected]) This is actually horrible. Mobilising is good for people, they will still need the loo, their joys are being curtailed... and it's not evidence-based?!
Lara Capybara RN 🌈 Nick (@[email protected]) Well all I can say is I'm interested as it could be groundbreaking ( no pun intended) so needs follow up study( with control group given decaf but told its caff ( not sure ethical panel wd agree) anything to reduce falls in at risk ppl is gd given the traumas falls cause literal…
DrawMyCare Nick (@[email protected]) 'Anything to reduce falls in people is good'. Not anything, no. Safe staffing and safe mobilisation will keep falls at zero to near-zero.
Otherwise you are introducing the risks of other harms eg those caused by not moving frequently enough.
Lara Capybara RN 🌈 DrawMyCare Reductio ad absurdum, but anuria would reduce falls due to need to urinate to zero. Not good for you though. Additionally overall falls appears unchanged, so no evidence of harm reduction - and as others have said risk of inducing postural hypotension
