The Morse Fall Scale (MFS) is a rapid and simple method of assessing a patient’s likelihood of falling. [1] A large majority of nurses (82.9%) rate the scale as “quick and easy to use,” and 54% estimated that it took less than 3 minutes to rate a patient.
Morse's main contribution in nursing research relates to understanding and controlling patient falls. With Robert Morse, she created the Morse Fall Scale, a six-point scale to predict a patient's risk of falling. [13] She identified methods of fall interventions, and the provision of safe care with the removal of patient restraints.

Indonesia was struck by a tornado of a scale previously unrecorded in the country that injured at least 33 people and damaged buildings, government officials said. After the violent wind swept the ...
Nurses complete a valid fall risk assessment scale. From that, a software package develops customized fall prevention interventions to address patients' specific determinants of fall risk. The kit also has bed posters with brief text and an accompanying icon, patient education handouts, and plans of care, all communicating patient-specific ...
