bed by a certified nursing assistant (CNA), who then proceeded to provide incontinence care. Upon
completion of incontinent care, the resident was positioned safely and centered in bed. Shortly thereafter,
the resident was observed on the floor. The CNA immediately notified the assigned nurse, who conducted a
prompt head-to-toe and neurological assessment. No loss of consciousness was observed. The attending
physician was notified and ordered the resident to be transferred via 911 to the nearest emergency
department for further evaluation. The resident's Power of Attorney was also notified. (R2) was admitted to
(hospital), where he was diagnosed with an intraparenchymal hematoma. Based on the CNA's interview, it
was revealed that the resident appeared to turn over to reach for his stuffed Christmas bear and family
photograph and slid out of bed, as these items are known to provide comfort.

followed the care plan.
