reports that R1 would turn side to side using her upper body, she would use the side rails to help turn. V6
states when she would talk, it would be very low and in Spanish. V6 states that does not remember R1
having any behaviors. V6 states that she didn't think R1 was a fall risk because R1 came from the hospital
and normally they (residents) will have a wristband from the hospital showing that they are fall risk, and if
they (residents) are fall risk, they will give us mat to place on the ground. R1 did not have floor mats. V6
states that when she saw R1 on the floor, lying like on her side and she did not see any bleeding, the bed
was low. V6 states that she remembers the resident because she worked with the resident for two days and
V6 continues to state not noticing any changes during those two days working with R1. Surveyor asked V6
if she needed assistance to provide care to R1. V6 replied no R1 wasn't that big, she turned good, and
wasn't hard to turn and provide care to. V6 states I honestly feel like she was reaching for something, and
she liked using her bedside table. She used to ask for two boxes of tissue. I always put the table next to her.
V6 states that respiratory therapy and nurses go in, and they might not have placed the table next to her. V6
states that R1 was able to use the call light. V6 states that R1's call light was not turned on when the fall
happened. V6 reports that R1 was on the vent and V6 thinks she started hearing the beeping, and V9
(Respiratory Therapist) came out of the office and started to see what was beeping about. V6 states that
R1 was on her bed when V6 last checked on her 30 minutes prior. V6 reports that the nurse went in to see
R1 after V6, she was asking her if she had any pain, checking vitals. V6 reports that R1's bedside table was
away from the resident's bed, the call light was on the side next to R1 on the floor. V6 reports V9 was trying
to hook R1 back up, and the nurse assisted V6 in putting her back on the bed. V6 states that R1 appeared
a little shook up, V6 states R1 said she (R1) was not in a lot of pain, she was alert. V6 states R1 was sent
to the hospital.
On 01/11/25, at 1:56 PM via telephone V9 (Respiratory Therapist) states that when she heard R1's alarm
sound V9 responded right away. V9 states that she found the patient on the floor. V9 states that she does
not remember how the area looked because she (V9) was to assess the patient (R1). V9 reports that R1
was older women, small lady. V9 states that she assessed R1, and she (R1) was not in distress. V9 states
that she does not remember if R1 had fall floor mats and where R1's bedside table was located. V9 states
that as the respiratory therapist she does not use the bedside table because she has all respiratory items
on a different table. V9 states that was the first time working with R1 and she did not have any problems
that day with R1. V9 states that R1 didn't call her a lot that day, V9 states but she kept close eyes on her, V9
states because she was a little bit confused and R1 had a lot of secretion. She would make eye contact.
She reacts when I said something. I think she was Spanish speaking.
On 01/11/2025, at 2:27 PM, V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse/Restorative Nurse) states that she is the fall
prevention coordinator and the restorative nurse. V4 states that she works Monday through Friday 9:00
AM-5:00 PM. V4 reports that she didn't get to assess R1 yet since R1 was admitted over the weekend. V4
states that upon admission, the admitting nurses initiate the fall risk care plan if a resident is assessed as
being a fall risk. V4 states that she then reviews the care plans to make sure they are accurate. V4 states
that the higher the score is the higher the risk they are at falling. V4 states that R1's risk score of 16 means
R1 is a high fall risk. V4 states that R1's fall risk assessment should have had interventions checked off and
there were none checked off. V4 states that standard fall prevention practices include bed in lowest
position, make sure they have the right footwear, making sure everything is within the patient's reach, make
sure that staff are toileting them when necessary, checking on them every two hours or as needed. V4
states that if the resident does not have items within their reach a fall can occur, because if they are
reaching for it, they can roll over and fall out
