During a review of Resident 2 ' s Nurses Progress Note, dated 12/22/2024 at 7:20 pm, the Progress Note
indicated the resident had a verbal altercation incident with a staff member.
During an interview on 12/24/2024 at 10:14 a.m., the Administrator (ADM) stated that a verbal altercation
occurred in Resident 2 ' s room between CNA 1 and Resident 2 on 12/22/2024 around 7 p.m. The ADM
stated that Resident 2 initiated the interaction by using derogatory phrases toward CNA 1. CNA 1 walked
out of Resident 2 ' s room but, upon returning to the room to pick up the resident ' s tray, Resident 2
continued speaking negatively to CNA 1. The ADM stated that it was CNA 1 ' s breaking point, and her
voice was escalated as she began speaking very loudly. The ADM stated that other staff members
overheard CNA 1 being upset.
During an interview on 12/24/2024 at 11:31 a.m., with Resident 2, the resident refused to participate in an
interview regarding the altercation.
During an interview on 12/24/2024 at 11: 44 a.m., CNA 2 stated that on 12/24/2024, Resident 2 repeatedly
called CNA 1 n-word and made inappropriate sexual comments. CNA 2 stated that there was a verbal
exchange between Resident 2 and CNA 1. CNA 2 acknowledged that CNA 1 should have walked away and
reported the incident to her supervisor to prevent further escalation.
During an interview on 12/24/2024 at 12:36 p.m. Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 stated that she arrived
at the scene after hearing commotion down the hall and witnessed an altercation between Resident 2 and
CNA 1. LVN 2 observed that Resident 2 and CNA 1 were yelling back and forth, with both becoming louder.
LVN 2 stated that Resident 2 is known for such behaviors and staff should address his concerns and
frustration to de-escalate the situations while maintaining professionalism. LVN 2 sated, that the situation
could have been resolved differently without staff yelling back at the resident.
During an interview on 12/24/2024 at 1:35 p.m. the Director of Nursing (DON), stated that CNA 1 ' s
response to Resident 2 was not appropriate, CNA 1 could have responded calmly by expressing that the
resident ' s tone was not acceptable and indicating that she would return later if the resident still required
assistant. Alternatively, the CNA 1 could have requested the charge nurse to reassign another CNA to take
care of the resident, which could have helped de-escalate situations.
During an interview on 12/24/2024 at 1:54 p.m. with the ADM, the ADM acknowledged that the CNA did not
maintain professionalism when responding to the resident ' s behavior, which was already documented in
the resident ' s care plan. The ADM acknowledged that the interaction could have potentially caused
distress to Resident 2.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dignity, revised February 2021, indicated
that 1. Resident are treated with dignity and respect at all times, 8. Staff speak respectfully to residents at
all times. 12. Demeaning practices and standards of care that compromise dignity are prohibited.
