NAHQ CPHQ Practice Exam

An effective fall prevention program for patients aged 60 to 85 years should include a patient assessment process, a fall protocol, and staff education. Options B, C, and D all omit at least one of these key components. Option B omits the family sitter program, which can be a valuable tool for preventing falls in this age group. Option C omits the fall protocol and staff education, both of which are crucial for preventing falls. Option D omits the patient assessment process, which is essential for identifying high-risk patients and implementing appropriate preventive measures. Overall, option A is the most comprehensive and appropriate choice for an effective fall prevention program for patients aged 60 to 85 years.
