This is not MDS related but I need some idea's for a patient who continues
to fall. I have a lady who has had a CVA with paralysis on right
side. She is in a Merry Walker as she is very unsteady on her feet.
She also has a personal alarm on. She is able to get around safely in the
Merry Walker and the personal alarm is to notify if she tries to get up without
assist. Now comes my problem, she is able to open the Merry Walker
and take off her personal alarm there by up without staff assist. She has
fallen numerous times doing this. Luckily she has not hurt herself
seriously. She has fallen again today and has a lovely shiner and goose
egg below her left eye. Is there anything else that we can do to keep her
safe. I am out of ideas. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Michelle
