Abstract: | The use of bilateral siderails, similar to physical restraints, can be safely reduced by a comprehensive assessment process. This article presents an individualized assessment for evaluating siderail use to guide nurses in managing resident characteristics for falling out of bed and intervening for high-risk residents. The individualized assessment is consistent with federal resident assessment instrument requirements and includes risk factors specific to falls from bed. |
