he had a fall early in the morning and we found him eating his sunflower seeds off the ground. So now he is
supposed to have floor mats on both sides of his bed while he is in bed.
Review of Resident #12's progress notes revealed an incident note on 3/31/23 at 1:43 a.m. Patient was
found on the floor sitting against the bed facing his roommates bed eating sunflower seeds. Stated he was
trying to walk and that he was walking all day. Patient found soiled. Bed not in lowest position. Skin intact

resident did not sustain any injuries at this time. The resident is at risk for falls due to a diagnosis of

related to falls include verbal education to residents to ask for assistance, staff to provide frequent
incontinence checks before bedtime and staff verbal education to place the bed in the lowest position when
a resident is in bed. The resident's son [family member name] and the resident himself stated an
understanding of risk factors for falls and interventions in place. IDT recommendations have been
