F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few The Facility's Undated Written Interview with V4 documents V4 went down the hall to see if one of the other CNAs would help on her hall. She heard commotion and went to see what was going on and saw the lady hit her in the face. On 11/26/24 at 10:26 AM, V4 stated she heard commotion coming from R2's room and went to see what was going on. She saw V3 come from behind and hit R2 in the face. As V4 was going down the hall she heard V3 say R2 hit her in the face, and she was shocked V3 was saying that, because that was not what happened. The Facility's Undated Written Interview with R2 documents R2 was in the bathroom cleaning up her dirty laundry when V3 came in from behind her and started moving her chair (wheelchair) while she was bent over picking up her clothing. R2 stated V3 continued moving her chair, and R2 had to brace her foot on the floor to ensure she did not fall out (of her wheelchair). R2 stated she put her arm up in the air and may have hit V3 at that time, but it was not intentional. She said then V3 made contact with her face and it was not a little love tap, she hit me hard. V3 told R2 she was going to tell the nurse that R2 hit her. On 11/26/24 at 9:38 AM, R2 stated, I was in the bathroom with the doors closed getting ready to go out. (V3) came in the door, I didn't know she was back there. I'm hard of hearing. I was bent over getting dirty clothes off the floor into the hamper and all of a sudden my chair started moving. I pushed back and must have hit her foot because she squealed, then she kept pushing me. Well, I had the bag and clothes still in front of me, and she was behind me, and when she pushed again I put my arm up in the air and she said I hit her, then all of a sudden, 'Whomp.' She whopped me a good one. It was intentional. She knew she did wrong when she did it, because I saw her reflection in the mirror and she did like this (made motion of putting hand over mouth in surprise). I wasn't hurt. It just stung maybe an hour. She took that left hand and, 'Whomp.' The Facility's Final Report sent to (State Agency) on 11/24/24 documents V3 did not return to the Facility, and her employment was terminated following the investigation. On 11/26/24 at 8:40 AM, V1, Adminstrator stated both V3 and R2 were consistent with their interviews throughout the investigation, but she thought it was best to go ahead and terminate V3. The Facility's Abuse Prevention Program Policy revised 12/16/16 documents, Abuse is the willfull infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain or mental anguish.
