On 11/19/24 at 10:01AM, R1 was observed in bed with a bump on the right side of her forehead, scabbed
over in the center, pink skin, and dry without drainage. R1 was asleep.
On 11/19/24 at 11:45AM, V4 said, The CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) called me to the room. I went to
the resident room; after assessing (R1), I called 911 because the physician told me to send her to the
hospital. At baseline, (R1) is alert and oriented x 2, and she is very responsive and has periods of
confusion. (R1) is a 2 person assist for transfers and she typically sleeps throughout the night. (R1) had
been checked not long before the fall. Whatever I wrote is what happened. V4 said she didn't remember
more than what was written.
On 11/19/24 at 1:57PM, V8, CNA, said, I don't know who (R1) is. I don't remember someone falling and
getting a goose egg or large bump on their head. I have had people fall but I don't know their names. Some
people are 2 person assists because they are combative.
On 11/20/24 at 12:54PM, V13, CNA, said, On 10/24/24, there was only 2 CNAs that night. V13 I was
coming to east hall (opposite R1 hall) and the nurse called me and said they had a fall. I went in the room
and (R1) was on the floor next to the bed. V13 said she was trying to change her diaper and she fell. The
surveyor who is she? V13 said V8 by name. V13 said, (V8) told me she was trying to change (R1's) diaper

of Nursing, was brought to the room, and R1 repeated the incident that the girl pushed her out of bed. R1
said, It hurt my shoulder and my head. R1 was on air mattress. R1's right leg was contracted, with knee
bent, and foot towards R1's torso. R1's left leg extended out in front of her.
On 11/19/24 at 12:11PM V5, CNA, said, (R1) needs 2 persons to turn her. (R1) can't help with positioning
and is heavy, and 2 people are needed to turn her. We don't have a rail for (R1). I have not seen R1 kick,
fidget, or try to get of the bed. (R1's) cognition goes in and out; she does get confused.
On 11/19/24 at 12:49PM V7, CNA, said, (R1) is 2 persons assist for cares. (R1) never tries to get up or out
of bed. (R1) can't roll out of the bed, and she can't help to turn. (R1) is cooperative. (R1) had a fall; when I
came back to work R1's face was swollen, all on the right side was swollen. (R1) said they were trying to
roll her over and she fell. (R1) told me that. It can be possibly true. (R1) can't sit up in the bed and she can't
stand or doesn't try to walk.
On 11/20/24 at 10:25AM, V11, MDS (Minimum Data Set) Nurse, said, When the fall was discussed with the
team, we were told the fire department picked (R1) off the floor after the fall. Per the documentation, (R1)
rolled off the bed. At 10:43AM, V11 presented Functional Ability assessment, dated 8/7/24. V11 said, (R1's)
bed mobility is dependent. (R1) needs 2 person assistance. In the facility when someone is dependent, we
use 2 people or more. (R1) has no behaviors that would mean she needs 2 persons for assistance. For
turning and repositioning in bed, (R1) needs 2 people. (R1) has no strength in arms and legs. (R1) does not
have the strength to turn herself in bed. I have no idea how she rolled out of bed. When they talked about
the fall, I wondered too. Vased on our assessment, (R1) is dependent and can't roll herself. The binder at
the nurses' station tells how many people can help. The staff gets trained to use 2 people. The staff is told if
they use 2 people for the transfer, then they need to use 2 for bed mobility and changing briefs.
On 11/20/24 at 11:07AM, V10, Restorative Nurse, said, Anyone with a fall risk score below a 9 are at risk.
(R1) was not part of the falling leaf program when she fell, and she is not now. Based on assessments, (R1)
needs extensive assistance with care; she needs a lot of help. (R1) cannot get up, she can assist with slight
movement, but staff would need to do the turning. (R1) can be between 1 to 2 person assist with bed
mobility, it depends on staff. I can do (R1) by myself. It is in the [NAME] in computer chart; you can see how
much staff (R1) needs for care. V10 read from [NAME] and documented BED MOBILITY with assistance.
V10 said, There is no direction if she needs 1 or 2 person, it depends on the person. Observation record
will show if she has contractures. (R1) was not able to walk before the fall. I went over the fall. (R1) is on a
bed mobility restorative program. The program says (R1) will practice repositioning in bed, and she does
not use rails for program.
On 11/20/24 at 12:03PM, V12, Restorative Aid, said, For (R1's) bed mobility, I go in and I turn her side to
side, with another person at all times. I move her contracted leg as much as she can bear. (R1's) right leg is
contracted and her left leg she does not bend. The CNA and I are doing all the work to turn her, she is
dependent on staff. I have never seen her turn or try to roll. In all the time I have worked with (R1), she has
never tried to roll or initiate the roll in bed.
On 11/20/24 at 12:28PM, V15, Director of Nursing, said, I started last week. Paraplegia affects the ability to
use legs.
Facility fall prevention program, dated 11/21/2017, states the program will include measures which
determine the individual needs of each resident by assessing the risk of falls and implementation of
