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.
