Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure a resident
was free from physical abuse, when the facility
nursing assistant students witnessed a facility
staff member (Certified Nursing Assistant CNA 1) mocking and roughly handling a
resident (Resident 1), during provision of care.
This failure could negatively impact Resident
1's psychosocial, and mental well-being.
Findings:
On March 22, 2019, at 12:17 p.m., an
unannounced visit was made to the facility to
investigate an allegation of physical abuse.
Resident 1's record was reviewed. Resident 1
was re-admitted to the facility on September 7,
2017, with diagnoses which included cognitive
communication deficit (difficulty in thinking and
communicating) and Alzheimer's disease (a
brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and
thinking skills). Resident 1's history and
physical (H&P), indicated, "...neurological:
confused, alert..."
The document provided by the facility dated
March 15, 2019, indicated the Director of Staff
Development (DSD) and the Unit Manager
(UM) interviewed CNA 1. In addition, the
document indicated, "... (name of CNA 1) said
that when the resident turned over, the resident
started to try to hit her so she held (name of
Resident 1's) arms so they can fasten her pullups..."
On March 22, 2019, at 12:32 p.m., Resident 1
was observed in bed. Resident 1 was alert,
confused, and carried very limited
conversation.
On March 22, 2019, at 12:50 p.m., the UM was

interviewed. The UM stated the incident
involving a CNA (CNA 1) and Resident 1 was
witnessed by the Nursing Assistant Students
(NAS). The NAS witnessed CNA 1 handling
Resident 1 more forcefully than necessary. The
UM stated facility staff should not handle
residents more forcefully than necessary.
On March 22, 2019, at 1:20 p.m., the facility
Administrator (ADM) was interviewed. The
ADM stated staff should not treat residents
forcefully, and CNA 1 should not be working as
a CNA because of her action towards Resident
1. The ADM stated CNA 1 was terminated.
On May 17, 2019, at 10:50 a.m., NAS 1 was
interviewed. NAS 1 stated on the afternoon of
March 11, 2019, she and the two other nursing
assistant students were changing the briefs for
Resident 1, when CNA 1 came to assist. NAS 1
described CNA 1's action towards Resident 1
as "forceful." She stated as CNA 1 was
covering the resident (Resident 1), the resident
refused. NAS 1 stated she saw CNA 1 grabbed
both wrists of the resident (Resident 1), and
shook the resident forcefully three times. She
(NAS 1) stated she saw Resident 1 stuck her
tongue out at the CNA (CNA 1), and CNA 1
stuck her tongue out at Resident 1, mockingly,
as she was turning her back at the resident.
On May 29, 2019, at 3:08 p.m., CNA 2 was
interviewed. She stated the staff should give
any resident with aggressive behavior time to
calm down, explain the care to be given, listen
to the resident, and get help from other staff.
On June 20, 2019, at 1:21 p.m., NAS 2 was
interviewed. NAS 2 stated she and the other
two NAS were giving care to Resident 1, on
March 11, 2019. NAS 2 stated they were
changing the briefs for Resident 1, and she
was a little difficult, because she could not

comprehend well. CNA 1 came over to assist.
Resident 1 was slow in helping them (NAS and
CNA 1) with care, and she became increasingly
agitated. CNA 1 then grabbed the hands of
Resident 1 close to the resident's chest and
shook her. NAS 2 stated CNA 1 handled
Resident 1 "roughly", and stuck her tongue out
to the resident (Resident 1). NAS 2 stated she
could tell from the facial expression of Resident
1 that she was upset and mad.
Resident 1's nursing care plan for activities of
daily living (ADL), dated June 12, 2018,
indicated, "...When she gets upset, feisty
during care; give her space and time to calm
down; redirect behavior. Once calmed down,
proceed with care..."
Resident 1's nursing care plan for Alzheimer,
indicated the following:
a. July 11, 2017, "Approach the resident/patient
in a calm, unhurried manner; reassure as
necessary...Allow extra time after speaking for
resident/patient to process thoughts and
respond..."; and
b. August 16, 2017, "...Approach the resident in
a clam (sic) manner. Speak to her in soft tone
of voice..."
The facility policy and procedure titled, "Abuse
Prohibition," revised July 1, 2018, was
reviewed. The policy and procedure indicated,
"...Abuse is defined as willful infliction of injury,
unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or
punishment with resulting physical harm, injury,
or mental anguish...Willful, as used in this
definition of abuse, means the individual must
have acted deliberately, not that the individual
must have intended to inflict injury or
harm...Physical abuse includes hitting,
slapping, pinching, kicking, etc., as well as
