This failure had the potential to compromise the physical and mental well-being of the resident. Findings: Review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated, Resident 1 had diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis (paralysis of one side of the body) resulting from a stroke and aphasia (loss of ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage). Review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool) dated 3/22/18 indicated, Resident 1 required extensive to total assist with most of her ADL's. Resident 1's MDS also indicated, she had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool used to determine cognition and memory) of 99 indicative of Resident 1's inability to respond to questions.

RN B also stated, she saw CNA A's right arm and elbow raised above the bed with a clenched fist and heard CNA A state, "I'm going to hit you." Then, she heard a thump. RN B went to check the resident and saw CNA A got off Resident 1 quickly and stated, "She is kicking me." RN B assessed Resident 1 and noted redness to Resident 1's upper left chest and right hand. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 5/8/18 at 10:15 a.m., she stated CNA A should not have held Resident 1 down by her wrists. He should have just asked someone to help him and waited until Resident 1 settled down and then provided the care. The DON also stated, CNA A should not have said, "I am going to hit you" and staff should never hit a resident. Review of the "Incident/Accident Post Review" dated 4/28/18, written by RN B indicated, Resident 1 had redness to the upper left chest and right hand following the incident. A review of the facility's policy," Abuse and Neglect Prohibition", indicated each resident has the right to be free from mistreatment and abuse. The policy further indicated the definition of abuse means the willful infliction of injury, intimidation or punishment. Mental abuse includes threats of punishment. Physical abuse includes hitting and controlling behavior through corporal punishment.
