This Care Plan documents that R1 has a history of skin tears, bruises, and a history of falls. This Care Plan documents an intervention for the bed to be in the lowest, most appropriate position when resident is resting in bed. R1's Incident report dated 4/14/2025 documents R1 was found on the floor next to the bed at 10:40 PM by V9, Certified Nurse's Assistant.
