The question is asking which patient population is at the highest risk for falling.
By analyzing the provided table, it can be observed that patients who had “falls prior to admission” have the highest number of falls after admission (30 patients) compared to other categories.
This data indicates that having a history of falls before being admitted increases the risk of falling again.
Although I don’t have direct access to external websites including NAHQ, it’s generally understood in healthcare quality and safety that ahistory of falls is a significant risk factor for future falls. This is likely supported by resources and documents on patient safety and fall prevention available on professional healthcare quality websites.
