— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
跌倒風險評估（如 Morse Fall Scale）包含：高齡（>65 歲）、使用輔助具、近期跌倒史、使用利尿劑（增加如廁頻率與姿勢性低血壓風險）。安排物理治療（E）是預防跌倒的措施之一，並非增加跌倒風險的危險因子。
Advanced age, use of assistive devices, a recent history of falls, and diuretic use are significant risk factors for falls due to decreased muscle mass, impaired balance, and increased urgency or orthostatic hypotension. Physical therapy is a preventive intervention that improves mobility rather than a risk factor for falling.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國法律對跌倒（Fall）的通報與後續改善非常嚴格，列入品質指標；台灣醫院也將跌倒列為重大醫安事件，實務流程相似。
