Popis: The prevalence of injurious falls is high in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and a major patient safety issue. The VHA is embracing technology such as simulation to improve patient care. Little is known regarding nurse thought processes while undergoing a post fall assessment simulation in the VHA. This article examines the benefit of using an evidence-based post fall simulation to improve nurse assessment skills while providing opportunity for practice without harm to patients.
