Resident #1 was not able to state, what happened if anything to staff. Diagnostic studies identified an acute left femoral fracture. The incident investigation noted, It appears that some time 5/28/24 in the evening is when the bruising was identified based on all the statements obtained. Due to her history, it is no unlikely that maybe she attempted to get out of bed unassisted and possible injury occurred that staff were not made aware to due to the cognitive impairment of the resident .
