Results: A positive statistical significant correlation was noticed between the studied nurses’ age and their assessment of the patient related ( p = 0.015) and organizational and policies related falling risk factors ( p = 0.029). A highly statistical significant positive correlation was depicted between the studied nurses’ total mean practice score of risk factors assessment and safety measures for falling prevention (r =0.419, p =0.002).
