Please help'
I asked for help this question before but they didn't answer correctly
Attach is the Risk and fall book. Please go through this book and help me to do a care map
Definition Risk Factors
Adults
Age ≥ 65 years; history of falls; living alone; lower limb prosthesis; use of assistive device (e.g., walker, cane, wheelchair)
Children
Absence of stairway gate; absence of window guard; age ≤ 2 years; inadequate supervision; insufficient auto- mobile restraints; male gender when < 1 year of age
Cognitive
Alteration in cognitive functioning
Environment
Cluttered environment; exposure to unsafe weather-related condition (e.g., wet floors, ice); insufficient light- ing; insufficient antislip material in bathroom; unfamiliar setting; use of restraints; use of throw rugs
Pharmaceutical Agents
Alcohol consumption; pharmaceutical agent
Physiological
Acute illness; alteration in blood glucose level; anemia; arthritis; condition affecting the foot; decrease in lower extremity strength; diarrhea; difficulty with gait; faintness when extending neck; faintness when turning neck; hearing impairment; impaired balance; impaired mobility; incontinence; neoplasm; neuropa- thy; orthostatic hypotension; postoperative recovery period; proprioceptive deficit; sleeplessness; urinary urgency; vascular disease; visual impairment
Client Will (Specify Time Frame)

• Change environment to minimize the incidence of falls• Explain

Nursing Interventions and Rationales
Safety Guidelines. Complete a fall-risk assessment for older adults in acute care using a valid and reliable tool such as the Hendrich II Model. Recognize that risk factors for falling include recent history of falls, fear of falling, confusion, depression, altered elimination patterns, cardiovascular/respiratory disease impairing perfusion or oxygenation, postural hypotension, dizziness or vertigo, primary cancer diagnosis, and altered mobility (Gray-Miceli, 2008). The Hendrich II Fall Risk Model is quick to administer and provides a determination of risk for falling based on gender, mental and emotional status, symptoms of dizziness, and known categories of medications increasing risk (Hendrich, 2006). This tool screens for primary prevention of falls and is integral in a post-fall assessment for the secondary prevention of falls (Gray-Miceli, 2007 ).
Home Care
Some of the above interventions may be adapted for home care
use.
Implement evidence-based fall prevention practices in community
settings and home health care pro- grams for older adults
(Fortinsky et al, 2008).
If the client was identified as a fall risk in the hospital,
recognize that there is a high incidence of falls after discharge,
and use all measures possible to reduce the incidence of falls.
CEBN: The rate of falls is substantially increased in the geriatric
client who has been recently hospitalized, especially during the
first month after discharge (Mahoney et al, 2000).
Patient Problem #1 is Risk for Falls includes: answer all these question
1. Nursing diagnosis
2. Supporting evidence (subjective and objective data)
3. One SMART* goal.
4. Minimum of 3 EB* interventions.

Read the information before each question, then answer the question right there. Don't read ahead. I want you to think about each set of information and what that means at the time. Your first impressions might be different as new information is presented. That is to be expected as patients exhibit new signs and symptoms, and new information from the laboratory or other sources becomes available.
