Risk factors for patients fall are often multifactorial. As part of the provision of safe health care, risk factors must be detected in a timely and correct manner. In the Czech environment it is recommended to use Morse Fall Scale and The Conley Scale as the most effective scales. There is no clear consensus for evaluating risk factors of falls for pediatric patients.

Keywords: fall, patient, risk factors, screening tools.
