F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few mad at R1. V13 stated V13 could still see that R2 was still frustrated by the way R2 was talking about the situation and seemed to be getting more agitated, so V13 stopped asking questions to prevent further escalation. V13 stated R2's psych nurse practitioner and primary doctor was notified, and the recommendation was to send R2 out for further evaluation, so the facility initiated an involuntary petition. V13 stated R2 was sent out for verbally and physical aggression toward R1 and to prevent other injury or danger to other residents including himself and staff.

On 11/03/24 at 4:05 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated V1 is the Abuse Coordinator for the facility and the goal of our abuse program is to keep all the residents free from abuse and to make sure they have a safe and comfortable place to live.

V1 stated the meaning of abuse is the willful or intentional act of harming someone. V1 stated V1 was made aware of the situation on 10/26/24 and an investigation was opened and submitted to Illinois Department of Health on 10/26/24 within the two-hour window. V1 stated R2 grabbing R1's arm caused harm to R1 by giving R1 a skin tear and that a skin tear is an injury. V1 stated R2 pointing R2's finger and yelling at R1 could be considered verbal abuse. V1 stated R2 was sent out because R2 continued to make verbally inappropriate comments and could not calm down so R2's doctor gave the order to send R2 to the hospital rather than to keep R2 here and potentially have another situation/outburst.
