Shrnutí	Patient Fall Risk Assessment is a systematic clinical evaluation process used to identify hospitalized or institutionalized patients at increased risk of falling. Falls are a major cause of injury and mortality in healthcare settings, particularly among older adults. The assessment considers intrinsic patient factors (e.g., age, medical conditions, medications) and extrinsic environmental factors (e.g., lighting, equipment, flooring) to guide preventive interventions.	The Morse Fall Scale (MFS) is a brief, reliable tool for assessing the risk of falling in hospitalized patients. Developed by Janice M. Morse through research identifying characteristics of fall-prone patients, the MFS evaluates six specific risk factors: history of falling, secondary diagnoses, ambulatory aids, intravenous therapy, gait, and mental status. The scale's simplicity, short administration time, and strong predictive validity have made it one of the most widely adopted fall risk assessment instruments in acute care settings.
