The goal is to ensure that preventable falls do not exceed 25% of the total falls in any unit. To determine which units meet this goal, we need to calculate the percentage of preventable falls for each unit:
Unit 1:
Total Falls: 14
Preventable Falls: 7
Percentage: (7/14) * 100 = 50%
Does not meet the goal (50% > 25%).
Unit 2:
Total Falls: 9
Preventable Falls: 3
Percentage: (3/9) * 100 = 33.33%
Does not meet the goal (33.33% > 25%).
Unit 3:
Total Falls: 3
Preventable Falls: 2
Percentage: (2/3) * 100 = 66.67%
Does not meet the goal (66.67% > 25%).
Unit 4:
Total Falls: 1
Preventable Falls: 0
Percentage: (0/1) * 100 = 0%
Meets the goal (0% < 25%).
Unit 5:
Total Falls: 2
Preventable Falls: 1
Percentage: (1/2) * 100 = 50%
Does not meet the goal (50% > 25%).
Based on these calculations, only Unit 4 meets the goal. However, the Unit 5 is incorrectly assessed, as 50% does not meet the threshold of 25%. Hence, the correct answer is Unit 4 only. Please ignore the earlier verified statement.
