On 10/9/2024 at 10:25AM, V8 (RN) stated she worked on 10/4/2024 the morning that R1 was sent to the
hospital for bruising on her chest. The CNA's called me to the room. The areas to R1's chest were dark
purple in color and the left breast had what appeared to be a hematoma. V8 stated the incident report was
already done by the night nurse. V8 stated there were no reports of falls. V8 stated that R1 was confused.

(Facility Name) (resident room #) for a [AGE] year-old female with bruising and pain. Upon arrival the
patient was in bed, in her room laying on her right side. Nursing staff reported in her rib cage bilaterally and
under her breasts and arms bilaterally. Nursing staff did admit to using an under the arm lifting method to
transition the patient from the bed to wheelchair. Patient was going to local hospital for evaluation and
possible pain control. The patient was responsive to pain, but otherwise did not communicate due to being
very hard of hearing. Patient had bruising to above mentioned areas. No vital signs were assessed on the
patient during transport due to her pain and lack of communication. The patient did not have any other
traumatic injuries noted during the assessment.
On 10/9/2024 at 11:44 AM, V10 (emergency room /RN) stated she was the nurse in charge of care for R1
on 10/4/2024. V10 stated R1 was in severe pain to the point it hurt her to even remove the covers to assess
her. V10 stated the bruising was really bad and the left breast was swollen at least double the size of the
right breast. V10 stated the paramedics that brought R1 in stated the staff informed them that the resident
is transferred by way of a bear hug or arm to arm transfer. V10 stated the only way the pain could be
controlled was with Fentanyl and stated actually the resident probably needed more pain relief but with her
age it would have been too dangerous to give her more. V10 stated R1 was finally able to rest if nobody
touched her. V10 stated R1 was admitted to SCU (Special Care Unit) in the hospital for monitoring. V10
stated R1 was on Eliquis which made the bruising probably spread more but it did not cause the actual
bruising and swelling. V10 stated R1 was admitted to SCU for close monitoring and pain control.
On 10/10/2024 at 8:15 AM, V19 (Primary Care Physician) stated he was the Primary Physician for R1, but
R1 was seen by hospitalist V20 (Nurse Practitioner/NP) V20 and V29 (NP) during her hospitalization but he
was consulted about the bruising. V19 stated that Eliquis does not cause spontaneous bruising and the
bruising had to start with some type of trauma. V19 stated R1's hemoglobin also dropped during the
hospital stay and the Eliquis was stopped. V19 stated R1 was in a lot of pain with the areas to the chest
wall. V1 stated he was not sure what caused the trauma, but he knows something happened. V19 stated
the hematoma even extended into the pectoris muscle.
On 10/10/2024 8:20AM, V20 (NP) stated she took care of R1 during her last few days of hospitalization.
V20 stated Eliquis does not develop spontaneously bleeding like this. V20 stated, I have not been told what
happened to R1 but something trauma related happened, maybe not intentional though. V20 stated it could
be someone handled her wrong or transferred her wrong. V20 stated R1's hemoglobin dropped from 8.1 to
7.2 during hospitalization. V20 stated R1 will be discharging to a different facility and on Hospice. V20
stated R1 was in pain that we were controlling with Fentanyl in the ER (Emergency Room) and Morphine
and Vicodin while in SCU (Special Care Unit).
On 10/14/2024 at 12:05 PM, V18 (NP) stated she saw R1 in the emergency room on [DATE]. V18 stated R1
was in pain and was noted to laying in the fetal position with her hands over her face. V18 stated R1

because R1 was in so much pain we could not even touch her. V23 stated the nurse got the DON and then
the resident was sent out to the hospital. V23 was asked how she normally transferred her, and she stated,
we always use 2 people and we each get under her arm and under her knee and move her that way. V23
stated this is the safest way to transfer the resident. V23 stated she doesn't use a gait belt very often while
transferring residents.

he did not care for R1 on 10/3/2024 but came in on 10/4/2024 and saw all the bruising and reported to the
nurse. V12 stated he was told the bruising was found on 10/3/2024 on the evening shift. V12 stated R1 was
in severe pain and couldn't hardly tolerate being touched. V12 stated he did not know how the bruising
happened. V12 was asked how he transferred R1 to the bed or wheelchair. V12 stated, I always do the arm
and arm transfer with her by myself. V12 stated like a bear hug, he places his arms under R1's arms and
they are facing each other, and he lifts and turns to place her in the bed or in the wheelchair. V12 stated it
really depends on how busy we are too. V12 was asked if he has a gait belt available and he stated , Not on
me. I have one probably in my car. V12 was asked why he does not use a gait belt to transfer R1 and V12
stated, I usually don't have time, nor do we have the staff to take the time and do that. V12 was asked if he
had gait belt training and he stated, The last time was in CNA class, and I have not had any training here.

horrible pain and could not stand to be touched. V12 stated he helped transfer R1 to the stretcher with EMS
(Emergency Medical Services) and they had to use a draw sheet to move her because of the pain. V12
stated he explained to the medics how the resident is normally transferred, and he explained that he uses
the bear hug technique when he puts his arms under her arms and lifts, and she puts her arms around him
like a hug and then he lifts and turns.
On 10/10/2024 at 10:50 AM, V25 (CNA) stated she laid R1 down on 1/3/3034 after lunch and she used a

sitting in her room in her wheelchair, so I took the shower chair back to the shower room and went back and

is higher than the wheelchair. V27 stated the transfer went fine but no gait belt was used. V27 stated, I then
started undressing R1 and that is when I saw the bruising. V27 stated, I had gotten R1 up for supper, but
she still had on a sweater, and I did not see her chest or any upper body parts. V27 stated, I transfer R1
usually by myself and I have her to hug me, and I wrap my arms around R1 under her arms and pull the
back of her pants and turn. V27 stated it is a smooth transfer. V27 stated, I asked someone to get the nurse
when I saw the bruises and I got clearance from the nurse to complete the shower and so I completed the
shower and put the resident to bed. V27 stated there were no complaints of pain at that time. V27 stated the
grand daughter had been there during supper meal and pushed R1 back to her room but did not put her to
bed.

took her to bed. V28 stated when she does transfer R1 she always has someone help her and they lift
under the arms. V28 stated, We never use a gait belt.

R1's left breast was noted. V24 stated she was summoned to the shower room to help with transfer to
shower chair. As R1 was being undressed she and the other CNA noticed the bruise to the left breast and
called for the nurse. V24 stated she never uses a gait belt when transferring residents. V24 stated when she
transfers R1 she always gets help because she is fragile.

was in bad pain, and it was controlled with IV (Intravenous) medications. V29 stated R1 mostly laid in the
fetal position on her right side with her hands over her face. V29 stated he is not sure what happened, and
he could not say if the bruising was from a traumatic or non-traumatic injury. V29 stated with R1 being on
