When a person has fallen in a bathroom, it could be either due to a slip or due to an underlying health condition.
It is important to reassure the person who has fallen and to look for any external injury. If there is no visible external injury and if the person is responsive, then the person should be lifted up slowly by holding their hips firmly. Call for medical assistance and an ambulance. If there is any external bleeding etc, then pressure should be applied by keeping a clean pad till the medical help arrives.
If the person is not responsive or not breathing, then an immediate CPR should be carried out.
Hope this will help you!!!
