Add to ORKGOncology patients are considered a high risk population for falls. Chemotherapy, medications, fatigue, physical decline, and insomnia are all common risk factors of falls for adult patients with cancer.

This intervention will not be conducted, but will be supported by previous studies and data. Multiple studies have been conducted on implementing new or different fall prevention methods in oncology units to determine how to effectively decrease the incidence of falls. While these studies have show...
