N2  - CNAs might be good leaders for groups of frequent fallers for several reasons, two of which are that they provide hands-on care and they know the residents well. Residents who fall frequently do not see themselves as persons who fall; they slip, trip, or slide. Single fallers explore ways to prevent another fall. Residents attempting to "do for themselves" and thus maintain their highly-prized independence is a factor contributing to falls. Preservation of autonomy and self-esteem are co-factors. Denial and independence in the faller need to be identified, supported as strengths, and incorporated into a resident's plan of care.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
