The task

Hari Thapa reports two recent near falls when rising from bed. He is at home for a community nursing assessment. Identify modifiable fall risks, agree an individual plan and complete the falls record without inventing a numeric score. The patient answers personal questions; the examiner supplies requested examination findings. Dr Taylor Singh is reachable by phone.

What this station tests

  • Stop supported standing measurements if the patient becomes symptomatic.
  • A useful falls plan links identified risks to practical changes and the person’s goals.
  • Review medicines with a prescriber rather than stopping them independently.
