Analyze standard fall prevention protocols

• Walkers are essential assistive devices and must remain accessible to the patient, not removed.
• Beds should always be kept in the lowest position to minimize injury if a fall occurs.
• The call light must remain within reach at all times so the patient can summon assistance.
• Instructing patients to ask for help before transferring is a universal, standard safety strategy.
