AbstractReducing falls in nursing homes (NHs) requires a knowledgeable nursing workforce. To test knowledge, 8 validated vignettes, representing multifactorial fall causes were administered to 47 nurses from 3 NHs. Although Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) scored higher than Registered Nurses in individual categories of falls, when we computed the average score of all 8 categories between groups of RNs’ versus LPNs’ we found RNs scored higher (F value =4.106; p<0.05) in identifying 8 causal reasons for older adults to fall.
