Fall risk in nursing practice

The monograph integrates known and new expert information on the subject and even introduces previously unpublished topics, thus bringing new insights for clinical nursing practice. The publication brings together theoretical information on the issue of risk situations not only in neurology. It lists types of falls and their consequences, risk factors, neurological diseases associated with fall risk, and interventions to minimize these risks.

It is not only walking patients who are at risk of falling; bedridden or wheelchair-bound patients are also at risk of falling and hurting themselves in a state of confusion.

The book is aimed at professionals in the helping professions, teaching staff involved in their education and students in undergraduate and postgraduate education. Caregivers and caregivers who care for patients or family members will also find interesting topics in the book.
