She stated Resident #80 had nosebleeds and depending on the severity of the nosebleeds they did different things. She stated, On Monday it was hard to tell if it was blood or pasta sauce on her face. She stated the resident was known to pick her nose and cause it to bleed. The staff had to keep tissues out of her room, so she was not putting them in her nose. She stated the resident's oxygen had humidity with it but the resident liked to take it off because she did not like the liquid in her nose. She stated if the nosebleed was bad she would let the nurse know. She stated she had witnessed Resident #80 sneeze and her nose began to bleed a lot.

It is acknowledged that some residents have the capability to remove or move away from the call bell. The facility provides a variety of types of call bells to assist each resident in having the best means of communicating with staff. The call system must be accessible to residents: - While in their bed - Other sleeping accommodations within the resident's room and for situations where the resident chair is on the opposite side of the call light, a manual bell will be offered/ The System must be accessible to residents who sustain a fall The guidelines section of the policy revealed; 1. Explain and demonstrate the use of the call light to the new resident. 2. Be sure the call light is plugged in and within reach at all times. 3. Report any defective call lights to Maintenance. 4. Residents should be provided with an alternate device to alert staff of need. 5. Answer the resident's call light courteously and as soon as possible. Photographic evidence was obtained.
