預防跌倒是病房照護的基本安全目標。將床位維持在最低位置(lowest position)是 Fall Prevention Protocol 的標準基礎措施,能有效降低病人若不慎墜床時的受傷高度。雖然 Rounding(定時巡視)與防滑襪也是預防措施,但床位高度是環境控制中可直接、持續且最有效地減輕傷害程度的手段。
Placing the bed in the lowest position with wheels locked is a fundamental fall prevention strategy that minimizes the distance of a potential fall, thereby reducing the risk of serious injury. While rounding and non-skid socks are helpful, lowering the bed provides immediate environmental safety against gravity-related harm.
