abstract="Falls and falls-related injuries are a major  problem in residential aged care. While there are many factors contributing to  falls in this group, there are also a number of strategies that can help reduce  falls and associated injuries. While programs to prevent falls must be  multifactorial and multidisciplinary, nurses in residential aged care will play  a central role in setting up and coordinating such programs. This paper reviews  a broad range of nursing, medical and allied health literature. It then  synthesises the research findings to outline a comprehensive series of  recommendations that nurses can use to improve clinical practice in this  area.",
