R1 stated that R2 just walked up to him and hit him in the eye, he did not do anything to him and has never been involved in any altercation with R2 before. R2 is [AGE] years old with past medical history of Other Asthma, Alzheimer's disease with late onset, hyperlipidemia, essential primary hypertension, paranoid schizophrenia, vitamin D deficiency, bipolar disorder, unspecified dementia unspecified severity with other behavioral disturbance, schizoaffective disorder, etc. Per record review, R2 was sent to the hospital for evaluation after he hit R1 in the face for no reason and threatened to hit staff and co-peers as documented in progress note. Facility reported incident dated 11/25/2024 stated that at 8:41AM, R2 walked approximately 6 feet from his table to the table where R1 was sitting and struck R1 on his face without apparent provocation. Care plan for R2 initiated 10/29/2021 states that the resident displays conflictual, difficult behavior with other persons related to becoming physically aggressive towards other residents when agitated. Interventions include: The resident will comply with staff redirection & behave in a safe & respectful manner, (7) of seven (7) days per week by next review. Intervene when any inappropriate behavior is observed. Communicate assertively that the resident must exercise control over impulses & behavior (Social Skills training). Use creative refocusing to alter behavioral patterns if the person suffers from dementia (e.g., provide drawers, laundry basket for rummaging, provide a tube sock with a knot to focus the resident's attention). If the resident becomes preoccupied by hallucinations and/or delusional thoughts, do not attempt to talk him/her out of the delusions. Simply remind him/her that he/she is safe & secure in the facility environment.
