Detailed explanation-1: -If you witness someone fall, try to ensure that they visit their GP, walk in clinic, or A&E for a check over. Often, older people may hide an injury because they fear losing control of their independence. They might also feel embarrassed by the ordeal. It’s important to reassure them.
Detailed explanation-2: -If they are conscious and you think they may have fallen from a height or could have injured their neck or spine – Do not move them. Try and keep them as still as possible and discourage them from twisting. Phone an ambulance and calmly keep reassuring them until paramedics arrive.
Detailed explanation-3: -Make sure you’re not hurt before standing up. Slowly rise to your hands and knees. Try to crawl to a chair and pull yourself up. If you can’t get up on your own, yell for help or call 911. If the area is swollen and you think you might have a fracture (broken bone), try not to move it. 19-Oct-2020
