Re: Fall Vs. Helped to floor

ï Yes, you are right--"helped to the floor" is a fall.   On Wed, 10 Dec 2003 22:19:00 EST [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I over heard a conversation today "The resident did not fall---We helped her to the floor so it is not a fall and I didnt fill out an incident report" Subsequently the resident has a fractured hip found 36 hours after the "non" fall.   Now---I thought if a resident was helped to the floor  it is still a fall and should be treated as such.   Am I correct??????   Thanks
