Former U.S. first lady Nancy Reagan was taken to a hospital in Los Angeles after she fell in her home on Sunday, her spokeswoman said.
But the 86-year-old Reagan is doing well and staying overnight at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica "as a precaution," spokeswoman Joanne Drake said.
Doctors have determined she did not break a hip as feared.
According to her office, the former first lady is in good spirits. She is "joking and visiting in her room," Drake said.
Drake also said Reagan is staying in the same room where former President Ronald Reagan stayed after he broke his hip at home in 2001.
Ronald and Nancy Reagan were married for 52 years before his death in 2004, which followed a decade-long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Her last major public appearance was at the Jan. 30 Republican presidential debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Calif., where she sat with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
