Which of the following is a complication from experiencing a traumatic fall in persons 65 years of age or older?

A. Lower risk of hospitalizations: Traumatic falls in adults ≥65 years are associated with higher rates of emergency visits, hospital admissions, and complications such as fractures and head injuries, rather than a reduced hospitalization risk. B. Increased medication use: Although medication use may increase after a fall due to pain management or new diagnoses, this is a consequence of injury management and comorbidities, not a complication syndrome directly resulting from the fall event itself. C. Development of “Post-Fall Anxiety” Syndrome: Older adults commonly develop fear of falling after a traumatic fall, leading to anxiety, reduced mobility, activity avoidance, and loss of independence, which can further increase fall risk and functional decline. D. Decreased nursing home admissions: Falls in older adults increase the likelihood of functional impairment, disability, and need for long-term care placement, making decreased nursing home admissions inconsistent with known outcomes.
