A Transforming Care at the Bedside model was used to decrease falls in the femoral nerve block (FNB) patient population on a 32-bed orthopedic/neurologic unit in a community hospital setting. A multifaceted, strategic practice and educational bundle was implemented, resulting in a 75% decrease in falls among patients with FNB.
