This failure resulted in Residents 1 and 2 suffering multiple injuries. * LVN 1's inappropriate response to redirect Resident 1's behaviors caused scratches and bruising to Resident 1's right upper arm. * LVN 1's inappropriate response to resolve an altercation between Residents 2 and 4 caused several skin tears to Resident 2's bilateral arms. Findings: 1. Medical record review was initiated for Resident 1 on 12/27/19. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on 1/31/19.

On 12/27/19 at 0950 hours, an interview was conducted with RNA 2. RNA 2 stated on 12/14/19, at around lunch time, she was getting ready to pass the trays to the residents. Resident 1 was sitting where he usually sat in the dining room, but Resident 1 came earlier than usual. RNA 2 stated Resident 1 was scheduled for second seating but showed up on the first seating. RNA 2 stated RNA 3 called Resident 1 and directed him to the door to take him to the lobby. Resident 1 stood up, but by the time he approached the dining room door, he went back inside the dining room and sat at another table. RNA 2 stated Resident 1 pulled a chair out, sat down, and grabbed one of the spoons from another resident's tray and was ready to eat the food. RNA 2 stated there was no seating space for him, or his tray because Resident 1 was scheduled for second seating. RNA 2 stated she and RNA 3 called for LVN 1. RNA 2 stated LVN 1 came into the dining room, and she (RNA 2) continued to pass the trays to the other residents. RNA 2 stated as she was putting the trays down on the tables where the other residents were sitting when she heard Resident 1 say "ouch!" RNA 2 stated LVN 1 took Resident 1 out of the dining room, but she did not see how LVN 1 took Resident 1 out of the dining room because LVN 1 was pretty tall and she could not really see what happened. RNA 2 stated Resident 1 was brought in to the dining room for the second seating, and he sat in his usual place.

On 12/27/19 at 1110 hours, an interview was conducted with RNA 1. RNA 1 stated on 12/14/19, at around lunch time, Resident 1 started to bother other residents in the dining room by touching the food on the table. She stated she (RNA 2) and RNA 3 tried to encourage Resident 1 to get out of the dining room because it was not time for him to eat. RNA 1 stated Resident 1 was a little combative and making pushing gestures with his hands but did not touch anyone. RNA 1 stated somebody called for LVN 1, and LVN 1 came into the dining room and started to talk to Resident 1 while he was sitting on a chair to get him out of the dining room. RNA 1 stated Resident 1 started to do the hand gestures to push LVN 1 away. RNA 1 stated she saw LVN 1 twist Resident 1's left arm behind his back, placed LVN 1's right arm under Resident 1's right armpit, stood him up, started to push the resident out of the dining room, and held Resident 1's twisted left arm with her left hand. RNA 1 acknowledged the situation was not handled properly. RNA 1 stated she did not report it because she did not feel comfortable reporting it. On 12/27/19 at 1150 hours, an interview was conducted with RNA 3. RNA 3 stated on 12/14/19, the lunch trays were being served in the dining room. RNA 3 stated Resident 1 was hungry and wanted to sit down and eat off another resident's tray.

RNA 3 stated she went to the dining room doorway and called for LVN 1 who was by the dining room door. LVN 1 walked in and tried to get Resident 1 out of the dining room, but Resident 1 started to become aggressive. RNA 3 stated Resident 1's voice escalated, and every time LVN 1 tried to redirect Resident 1 by holding his hands, he pulled his hands away from LVN 1. RNA 3 stated LVN 1 became a little frustrated. RNA 3 stated she saw LVN 1 doing a pinching motion on Resident 1's right arm, in a swift motion. RNA 3 stated LVN 1 took the resident out of the dining room by holding on to one of Resident 1's arms, towards his side and escorted him out of the dining room. RNA 3 stated she was not sure which arm. RNA 3 took Resident 1 back from the lobby to the dining room when it was his time for the second seating. RNA 3 stated she lifted Resident 1's right long sleeve and saw scratch marks on the resident's right arm. She stated she did not report it to anyone, she was in a daze, realized it was a mistake, and should have reported it right away. Review of the Resident Abuse Investigation Report Form dated 12/19/19, showed RNA 2 saw LVN 1 shoving Resident 1 out of the door, and when RNA 2's back was turned, RNA 2 heard Resident 1 say "ouch" as if someone was hitting someone. RNA 3 stated LVN 1 was called and LVN 1 got agitated herself and started to pull Resident 1 to get him out, and saw LVN 1 did a quick, swift pinching motion to Resident 1's right upper arm that no one noticed, but RNA 3 saw Resident 1 grimace in pain. LVN 1 proceeded to take Resident 1 out of the dining room forcefully by putting his arm behind his back and pushing him out.

The Resident Abuse Investigation Report Form showed LVN 1 was interviewed with police present, and LVN 1 denied going to the dining room on 12/14/19; however, two eye witnesses provided the same information regarding the incident. Review of the Resident Abuse Investigation Report Form dated 12/19/19 showed Resident 1 did have a bruise to his upper right arm, and the investigation showed LVN 1 might have used more physicality than necessary. The report also showed the police officer who participated in the investigation "indicated" twisting Resident 1's arm behind his back seemed to be a violation of procedure in this case. The report also showed pinching and twisting of Resident 1's arm to control his behavior was a clear violation of the facility's policy. 2. Medical record review for Resident 2 was initiated on 12/27/19. Resident 2 was readmitted to the facility on 7/24/17. Review of Resident 2's MDS dated 10/16/19, showed Resident 2 was severely cognitively impaired. Review of Resident 2's care plan showed a care plan problem dated 7/22/19, with a revision date of 10/17/19, addressing mood and behavioral problems. The approaches included, if the resident refused or was resistive, leave and try again later, and provide a calm, comfortable, and safe environment. Review of Resident 2's SBAR Change of Condition Documentation dated 12/17/19, documented by LVN 1, showed on 12/17/19, LVN 1 was called to Resident 2's room for help. Upon entering the room, LVN 1 saw Resident 2 was agitated and combative towards staff.

Then a male staff member came in to assist calming Resident 2 down. LVN 1 documented she noted several skin tears to Resident 2's upper extremities. On 12/27/19 at 0730 hours, a concurrent observation and interview was conducted in Resident 2's room. Resident 2 was observed lying on the bed with both forearms wrapped with gauze dressings. When asked what happened, Resident 2 stated he could not remember. Resident 2 refused to show the wounds. On 12/27/19 at 0930 hours, an interview was conducted with RNA 1. RNA 1 stated on 12/17/19, in the morning, she heard CNA 1 call for help in Resident 2's room. After RNA 1 entered the room, CNA 1 took Resident C out of the room for a shower, and Resident 4 was walking back and forth around his own bed. RNA 1 saw Resident 2 was standing by his bed. LVN 1 grabbed both of Resident 2's forearms and pushed him down to his bed. Then Resident 2 started kicking with his legs. LVN 1 put her knee on Resident 2's abdomen on his bed until Resident 2 stopped kicking. Resident 2 then yelled at LVN 1 that he never wanted to see LVN 1 in his life. When LVN 1 let go of Resident 2, RNA 1 saw blood on LVN 1's hands, and the skin of Resident 2's forearms was torn and bleeding. RNA 1 stated LVN 1 did not ask her to help. LVN 2 came to treat Resident 2's skin tear wounds. RNA 1 stated she was scared and shaking when she came out of the room. RNA 1 stated she did not report the incident on 12/17/19, because she was scared of being retaliated against by LVN 1. RNA 1 stated on 12/18/19, in the morning, RNA 1 talked about the incident to her friend who told her she had to report it. So she (RNA 1) reported the incident to LVN 3.
