To protect themself from a malpractice claim,the nurse can implement fall precautions on an older adult patient.These include supervising the patient when getting out of bed,keeping the floor clear,and placing the bed in the lowest position.Reducing work status to part time would not guarantee that the nurse wouldn't be named in a lawsuit.
