scared of falls

Hello! Im a generally new pct in search for some advice. As a pct im responsible for standing weights. Let me just say I am absolutely terrified of my patient falling. Most of my patients are pretty old. I'm constantly worried they're going to fall when standing to use the scale, or walk to the bathroom, or i'll forget the bed alarm and they'll jump out of bed and it'll be my fault. I guess i'm in search of ways to get over this anxiety. And any tips on getting standing weights ? do you normally have your patient stand on the scale directly from the bed or do you have them step off the bed then onto the scale? Just want to keep all my patients safe. Especially when they're not aox4 they scare me🤣
