ability to ambulate, move resident to room with optimal visual access from nurses station, notify medical
doctor (MD) and family of any new fall, promote placement of call light within reach, provide proper, well
maintained footwear, provide resident with night light, restorative care as appropriate, rounding at a
minimum of every two hours, staff to assist as needed and therapy to evaluate and treat as indicated.R2's
care plan, updated on 7/31/25, documented bed to be placed in lowest position when in bed. R2's care plan
