	Planned safety interventions	Rationale
Example 1	Keep clutter out of walkways and arrange furniture to provide wide walking areas.	To prevent Mr. Smith from stumbling during ambulation with his walker. He has a visual impairment and may not see furniture, throw pillows, rugs, or books in his way. Wilkinson, Treas, Barnett & Smith (2016) recommend clutter-free walkways for adults with limited mobility.
Example 2	He should wear an armband identification for Coumadin	In the event of falls, Hull, Garcia &Vazquez (2019) indicate that patients on Coumadin (blood thinner) may bleed internally, even when there are no visible injuries. The identification band will make all staff aware of his risks, and all falls should be reported to his health care provider.
