when the staff are fixing me up in bed. I don't know exactly when it happened but it has happened before. I
don't remember anything else. R1 did not have any bandages or skin protectors on his arms.
On 6/16/24 at 1:42PM, V3 (Registered Nurse) stated, We use (multipurpose bandages) on (R1) to protect
his arms from getting bruised if he bumps them. I didn't have them on him before because they were in the
wash so we were waiting to get them back from the laundry. I finally just cut new bandages and put them on
his arms. He should have them on at all times because he is at high risk for bruising due to being on blood
thinners.
On 6/16/24 at 2:20PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, I interviewed (R1) regarding the bruising to his right
elbow on 5/28/24. It was the day after the nurse discovered the bruising. He told me his elbow got bumped
on the side rail but never told me it occurred during care. I asked him multiple times what happened and he
stated he bumped it on his own on the rail and that it didn't hurt. (R1) started to become upset with my
questions and told me to leave it alone and he wasn't concerned about it. I left a message for his daughter
to call me back and she never returned my call. I believe the staff are applying (multipurpose bandages) to
both of his arms due to his high risk of bruising from blood thinners. We have plenty of the bandages and
they come in a big roll so all we have to do is cut them and apply them to the resident. There is no reason
why (R1) would not have access to bandages or wouldn't have them on. They are for protection so should
be worn at all times.
The facility's policy titled, Physician Orders dated 7/28/23 showed, It is the policy of this facility to ensure
that all resident/patient medications, treatment and plan of care must be in accordance to the licensed
physician's orders .

R1's care plan dated 6/7/23 showed, (R1) is at low risk for falls related to cerebral infarction, complete
traumatic amputation of right hand at wrist level .I prefer to keep the bed in low position for safety, I would
like staff to provide me a safe environment: even floors, free from spills or clutter, adequate, glare-free light;
a working and reachable call light, the bed in low position at night; side rails as ordered, hand rails on wall,
please make sure my call light is within my reach and encourage me to use it for assistance as needed .

right side due to his right hand amputation. V5 stated all residents should have access to their call light so
they are not trying to get up on their own and call for assistance.

should have it placed in an area that it is accessible to them. A call light hanging off the side of the bed is
not accessible to most residents. V2 stated it's not a perfect world and call lights do get misplaced but staff
should be checking to make sure residents have access to them at all times.
