V3 said she left R1 on her left side and went to get linen from the dresser. V3 said when she was at the dresser her back was to the resident and then she heard R1 fall from the bed. R1's hospital record dated 12/27/24 documents: pelvis xray acute fracture noted in the left pubic bone, extending to the left superior pubic ramus. Facility accident management meeting form documents under root cause: Certified Nursing Aide, CNA was providing care in patient's bed. CNA rolled patient on her side and stepped away from the patient and she rolled onto the floor. New interventions: When providing care in bed CNA should always roll patient towards them and not away from them. CNA should position resident in the middle of bed before rolling patient to their side. Witness statement for V3 (CNA) documents: V3 went to provide care to R1. V3 raised the bed to waist level and turned R1 to the window. I stepped away to the dresser to grab a sheet because when V3 turned R1 she saw the bed was wet too.
