‘argumentative.' This documentation goes on to state, She mentions a bruise on her forehead, which she
attributes to being hit by the same resident two days ago. Review of Systems: Psychiatric: She exhibits
impaired recent memory. Patient does seem to have appropriate judgement, but lost control after repeated
offenses from the fellow resident she stabbed. Medical decision making: Urinalysis is slightly positive for
infection. Patient was started on Ceftin. Patient will be returned to the nursing home. Nursing home staff will
need to take appropriate measures to keep the two residents apart. I do not have concern patient will attack
anyone else outside of being attacked herself.R2's History of Present Illness from the local ER dated
7/11/25 documented, The patient was stabbed at her facility with a pen by another patient, in her right
upper back. 10 total superficial wounds noted to right shoulder and back. Patient states, I was visiting my
friend and another person who wasn't supposed to be in the room stabbed me with a pen in the back.
Resident is alert and oriented to person, place, time, and purpose. There were no signs of infection, but I
will put her on Bactrim for infection prevention. There was no documentation in the ER records as to R2
causing a bruise on R1's forehead, or any evidence of a psychiatric evaluation being done on R2. On
7/15/25 at 8:55am, R1 was alert only to herself. R1 was observed to be on one to one observation with
CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) staff. R1 was noted to have a large healing bruise to the left forehead.
When asked about the bruise, R1 stated, She did that to me. It was another resident. R1 stated she could
not remember the other residents name, but referred to her with feminine pronouns. R1 stated this resident,
date unknown, saw R1 in the hall and accused R1 of stealing her jacket, which R1 denied. R1 stated that
was all she remembered about that incident, but stated the other resident must have stayed mad about the
jacket, because at some point after, she came into R1's room and punched R1 on the forehead. R1 stated
R1 then stabbed the other resident in the back with an ink pen, In self- defense. I was trying to get her off
me. R1 stated she did not remember anything about going to the hospital. R1 stated she did not know what,
if anything, the facility did in response, and could not remember if she told any of the staff about getting
punched in the forehead. On 7/15/25 at 9:05am, R2 was alert and oriented to person, place, and time. R2
was observed to be under one to one observation from CNA staff. R2 was observed to have ten pinprick
sized scabs over her upper back. R2 stated R1 has a habit of coming into R2's room, taking R2's clothing
items, leaving the room with them, and then throwing them away. R2 stated a few days ago R1 was in
another residents room and she didn't belong in there, so R2 told R1 to get out, which R1 refused to do. R2
stated at that point, R1 began sticking her in the back with an ink pen. R2 stated R2 left the room and was
then going down the hallway and R2 was crying, which one of the nurses noticed. R2 stated she told the
nurse what happened, and the nurse examined her and saw the marks made by the ink pen. R2 stated she
was sent to the ER to be examined and was given an antibiotic in case the areas became infected. R2
stated she did not recall any incidents between her and R1 over a jacket. R2 denied ever hitting R1 on the
forehead or scratching R1's arm. R2 stated after the incident, staff moved R1 to the other side of the
building, and R1 has one to one at all times with CNA staff, To protect her from (R1).On 7/15/25 at 9:38am,
V1 stated on 7/11/25, V2, Director of Nurses, brought R2 to her to report what happened with R1. V1 stated
she interviewed R2 who said R2 asked R1 to leave the other resident's room, and R1 started poking R2 in
the back with a pen. V2 stated she then interviewed R1, who showed V1 a bruise on R1's forehead and
indicated it was caused by R2 punching R1 in the head. V1 stated she was unaware of the bruise to R1's
forehead until that time and of R1's report that it was caused by R2. V2 stated both residents were sent to
the ER, and V1 requested they both receive a psychiatric evaluation, which the ER did not do. V1 stated
when both residents returned to the facility on 7/11/25, both were immediately placed on one to

a bruise on R1's forehead and R1 indicated it was caused by R2 punching R1 in the head. V1 stated she
was unaware of the bruise to R1's forehead or of R1's report that it was caused by R2. On 7/15/25 at
10:05am, V7, Assistant Director of Nurses, stated she was walking past R1 in the hallway on 7/9/25, when
she saw R1 and noticed R1 had a bruise over the left eye. V7 asked R1 what happened, and initially R1
said she couldn't remember but then said she didn't want to talk about it, which is often her response to
questions. V7 stated during the conversation, R1 stated she thought maybe she fell but wasn't sure. V7
stated she consulted with V2, Director of Nurses, who told V7 to measure the bruise, which measured 4
centimeters. V7 stated V2 advised V7 that since the bruise was under 7 centimeters in diameter, the bruise
did not have to be reported to V1 as the Abuse Coordinator as possible abuse. On 7/15/25 at 10:15am, V2
stated on 7/9/25, V7 approached V2 about the bruise to R1's forehead. V2 stated she told V7 that since the
bruise was less than 7 centimeters in diameter, it did not need to be reported to V1. On 7/15/25 at 11:40am,
V1 stated her understanding was that V7 thought the bruise was caused by a fall, therefore V7 did not
suspect it could have been caused by abuse, and did not report it to V1. On 7/15/25 at 3:05pm, V1 stated
nursing staff including V2 and V7 have now been reeducated on reporting injuries of unknown origin to V1
so that an immediate abuse investigation can be initiated. An Abuse Prevention Program Policy dated

act in the Administrators absence of all reports of incidents, allegations, or suspicions of potential abuse,
neglect, exploitation, mistreatment, or misappropriation of resident property. Upon learning of the report,

nursing staff is responsible for reporting the appearance of suspicious bruises, lacerations, or other
abnormalities of an unknown origin as soon as it is discovered.
