All R1's fall interventions should be in place and followed to help prevent further falls. R1 is not on isolation and does not have to stay in his room, and should be allowed to participate in activities, as it is part of R1's care plan as a fall intervention.

However, if resident is on isolation and activity staff would go into their room to engage the resident with one-to-one activities.

The bed alarm purpose to alert nursing staff that the resident has gotten off the pad, to prevent a fall. If the bed alarm is not turned on, the resident could get up and staff would not be alerted.
