Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient is assessed with the Morse fall scale: history of falling in the last 3 months: yes; secondary diagnosis: yes; ambulatory aid: holds on to furniture; IV therapy or saline lock: no; gait: weak; mental status: overestimates or forgets limits. Find the Morse total MFS.
