Résumé	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.	Nursing-Sensitive Indicators are quality metrics that measure healthcare outcomes significantly influenced by nursing care. Developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and maintained through the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI), these indicators assess hospital-acquired complications, staffing levels, nurse-sensitive outcomes, and other dimensions of care quality. They serve as benchmarking tools for evaluating nursing practice effectiveness and organizational performance.
