Abstract
Problem solving using a collaborative approach may reduce the risk of falls in the nursing home. Interventions need to be tailored to the individual's cognitive and physical impairments as well as be feasible in the particular long-term care setting. Polypharmacy, Vitamin D deficiency, delirium, and urinary incontinence are among several risks for falls that are discussed in this article.Entities:
