Falls & Drugs (Everyone Should Know the Risks)
Did you know that certain medications can DRAMATICALLY increase the risk of falls?
In today's video we're discussing what are called fall-risk-increasing-drugs (FRIDs) as well as the phenomenon of polypharmacy, where individuals are on 4+ medications at the same time.
If you work with clients who are on prescription meds it is imperative that you have some familiarity with these two issues and how intensely they can impact fall risks. This video will give you the current research statistics, as well as some guidance on a multi-pronged approach you can take to address it, in concert with their prescribing providers.
While this is a "simple" concept, it's a huge player in real world falling scenarios so it has to be addressed with every client at some point. We hope you find it very useful!
