This website is the National Council of Aging (NCOA) and it provides statistical data on falls on Americans over the age of 65. I believe that all of this information is helpful and will be needed to help make my point that while there are things out there to help prevent falls, there is still room for improvement. The only downfall of this source is that it only provides facts, nothing more.

This website is a great source as it provides information on the Morse Fall Scale Assessment. This is the basis of my research so it is very important to explain how it should be used and the score system. There is not really a downfall to this site as it does exactly what I need.

This source is a research article about implementing the Morse Fall Scale Assessment in the EMR in a facility. This source provides a lot of information about research that has already been done to show that implementing the Morse Fall Scale assessment has proven to be helpful. The only weakness for this article is that it was published in 2014, which a year older than what the assignment asks for. But I still wanted to use it because it pertains to my research perfectly.
