Alternatives to full rails can be considered to minimize risks while still ensuring patient safety:
Low Beds: Using low beds can reduce the risk of injury in case of a fall. Fall Mats: Placing mats beside the bed can cushion falls and reduce injury. Bed Alarms: Bed alarms can alert staff when a patient is attempting to get out of bed. Supervision: Increased supervision and frequent checks can mitigate the need for full rails.
