P: Adult patients in an inpatient psychiatric unit with mild depression. I: Multifactorial fall prevention protocol C: Patient-centered intervention O: Reduction of fall incidents T: Two months after implementation PROFESSOR RESPONSE: “I would look for evidenced-based intervention you can implement in an inpatient psychiatric unit for falls and see what the literature states. This is a special area I am sure as far as falls go as people are allowed to get up out of bed alone etc. unlike a normal hospital so you will need specific evidence-based interventiohkzn. Let me know when you have one. “
