This review examines the impact of medication doses on the risk of falls in elderly patients. It analyzes various research designs, sample characteristics, outcome measurements, statistically significant study findings, and other important findings. The review suggests the need for standardized guidelines to address the potential risks of falls in elderly patients.

Synthesis Assignment

This assignment requires students to develop an introductory paragraph, provide concise statements of key findings across 10 studies, and synthesize the facts/details across all 10 studies. The assignment also includes the completion of an evaluation table to review and organize relevant studies.

Review on medication doses and fall risk in elderly patients, highlighting study findings and the need for guidelines.

Impact of Medication Doses on Risk of Falls in Elderly Patients: A Review

This evidence-based practice project focuses on the impact of taking 4 or more medications on the risk of falls in elderly patients. It explores potential strategies for addressing the health issue, the role of RN in preventing falls, measurement tools like RAPA and KPS, and the clinical setting. The project identifies threats and limitations and provides recommendations for further research.

Research Foundations

Elderly people are at a high risk of falls and consequent injuries. A recent survey conducted showed that approximately 30% of individuals aged above 65 years fall annually. The research question for this study is, ‘Is educational intervention effective in reducing the risk factors that result in falls among the elderly people. The results obtained show that there are many prevailing factors that result in falls. Evidence based research has shown that simple strategies such as creating awareness can help to reduce the risk of falling. In conclusion, there are several factors which contribute to falls among adults. However, through evidence based approaches, it is possible to reduce the rate of falls.

High Risk of Falls in Elderly People

Presentation

This proposal aims to summarize the best interventions implemented to prevent fall injury in older clients. It discusses the high incidence of geriatric fall injury and the burden of care due to repeated hospitalization. The project design involves a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of various interventions such as exercise, medication review, fall assessment, environmental changes, and multi-factorial intervention. The outcomes of the research indicate that exercise intervention, including physical activity and balance training, is the most prevalent and effective intervention for fall prevention in elderly patients.
