On 04/23/25 at 1:51 PM, V5 (Registered Nurse/ RN) stated the only thing she knows about R33 that she has seizures, and they give her medicine for them. She reports that R33, Has them on occasion. V5 stated that it had been a long time since she witnessed a seizure. V5 said that she is not aware of any interventions in place to prevent injury prior to falls in general or falls related to seizures. On 4/24/25 at 9:09 AM, V2 (Director of Nurses) gave the following responses in relation to interventions reviewed with her after each of R33's falls. V2 stated that she thought that the fall intervention for the fall on 2/14/25 was appropriate because having R33 review the smoking policy and having her sign it would help to remind her of current policy and calm her down. V2 stated that R33 was upset at the time, and staff were concerned her agitation could cause a seizure and in turn, a fall. Related to fall interventions put in place for fall on 2/14/25, V2 said that she thought that the review of the policy and having her sign it, because of her agitation over not being able to smoke as often or as much due to extreme temperatures, would help to remind her and calm her down because staff were concerned that with increased agitation that it could cause a seizure and in turn a fall. Related to interventions put in place for fall on 2/26/25, V2 said that re-education of staff on having resident lay down or sit down was an appropriate intervention because R33 literally inhales two cigarettes as quickly as possible, and they thought that her blood pressure was bottoming out after she stood up. V2 said that having her sit down or lie down would help to bring her back to her normal baseline blood pressure and keep her from having a seizure or passing out. Related to 4/18/25's interventions put in place for fall, V2 said they thought that was an appropriate intervention because the facility wanted to draw levels to see if her therapeutic levels were too low, and if they could contact (MD) medical doctor and have Keppra increased which would decrease risk of seizure. V2 said that R33 is independent in all her activities of daily living (ADLs), so the only other intervention that she could think of would be to have R33 one on one with a staff member, and that is very difficult to have one to one staff/resident care.
