Answer:

Implement strict bed rest and pad the side rails Attach a fall caution bracelet to the patient

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition, nitrites should be administered to prevent a recurrence of this acute myocardial infarction, perform cardiovascular studies and evaluate the administration of anticoagulants in the event that the etiology has been a transient thrombosis or embolus.
