revealed Resident #61 alleged he was provided his morning medication crushed and in pudding by Medication Technician (MT) #119. He stated to MT #119 he no longer received his medication crushed and declined to take the medication in that form. MT #119 left the room with the crushed medication and returned with four pills in a medication cup. Resident #61 stated all his medication was not in the cup and declined to take it until he received all medications that were due. MT #119 stated those were the medications ordered. The resident refused to return the four pills in the medication cup or take the pills until someone addressed his issues. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #233 entered the room to speak to Resident #61 and again he stated he would not take the medications until he was provided all the pills that were due and refused to return the medication cup. Resident #61 stated LPN #233 grabbed his hand to retrieve the cup and caused bruising in the process. Review of LPN #233's statement revealed Resident #61 had refused to take the medication stating not all his medications were there and he would not give the medication back to MT #119. He said he was keeping them to show the dayshift nurse he was missing medications. LPN #233 went in and reviewed all medications with him reassuring him that all the medication ordered for that morning was there. He again refused. LPN #233 told him if he wasn't taking the medication, she would need them back because she was not allowed to leave them in the room. The LPN went to grab the cup and Resident #61 grabbed her right wrist and started twisting and wouldn't let go. MT #119 told the resident to let go. LPN #233 reported she did not touch the resident in any way that would potentially cause harm because he had a hold of her right arm, and she had another resident's medication in her left hand. Review of MT #119's statement was consistent with LPN #233's statement. MT #119 reported LPN #233 had grabbed the medications and the Resident (#61) grabbed her by the right wrist and started twisting her arm and would not let go. MT #119 further stated she had to tell the resident he couldn't do that before he finally let go of LPN #233. Review of a skin and pain assessment conducted on Resident #61 revealed a bruise noted on his 1st and 2nd digit on the right hand. It was important to note Resident #61 was on blood thinners causing him to easily bruise. A whole house staff education on abuse was conducted as well as one on one with LPN #233. The resident was able to provide meaningful information when interviewed and the resident (#61) had no effect noticed as a result of the incident. There were two witnesses identified (Stated Tested Nurse's Aide (STNA) #137 and MT #119). The SRI was unsubstantiated as there was no evidence that indicated abuse had occurred. Further review of the investigation revealed no evidence of written statements from LPN #233 and MT #119. Review of STNA #137's statement dated 02/08/24 at 8:05 A.M., revealed Resident #61 informed me about what happened last night when I went to change him this morning. LPN #233 said he took his pills crushed and not whole, but he had been taking them whole for a long time and when she went back there were only four or five pills and he takes about seven. LPN #233 told him if you aren't going to take them, you're not getting any at all. She went to put his pills in his hand and grabbed his right index finger and that's when he grabbed her wrist and told her to get out of here. So, STNA #137 looked at this right index finger and it was red and bruised. STNA #137 informed her nurse and unit manager when he told her, and the nurse went to look at it and talk to the resident.

Review of STNA #146's statement dated 02/08/24 revealed when she first arrived at work, she overheard LPN #233 talking about an altercation with a resident to MT #119. LPN #233 told her she went to take Resident #61's pills and had crushed them, but he was upset about it, so she got him new that were whole. LPN #233 stated that he told her they still were not correct and wanted to keep hold of them anyway and she wouldn't let him. She then said she went to grab the pill to take them to be discarded and said the resident grabbed her arm and started to twist it. MT #119 then said he only let go of LPN #223 because MT #119 told him to. Further review of the staff questionnaires revealed the staff interview questions asked if they were aware of any incidents that happened with Resident #61, when were you notified of the incident and by whom, and if notified by the Resident, what did he say.

States the med tech asked if he was refusing. He replied, no I just don't take them crushed. The med tech left the room and returned with his meds whole in a cup. Resident stated there were only four pills in the up and told the med tech that wasn't all his medications. Med tech stated that was what was ordered. Resident says he told her he was not taking them and was waiting to show someone that his wasn't medication wasn't correct. Med tech told the resident she cannot leave unless you return the meds or take them. The resident refused and the Med tech left. LPN #233 came in and moved the resident's tray table and attempted to take the cup of pills from the resident's hand. The resident turned away and she grabbed my hand. The resident had bruises on the 1st and 2nd digits on the right hand. Pain medication offered but declined. Per the incident report, LPN #233 reported to the DON the resident's medications had always been crushed in pudding. So, she got his meds and crushed them in pudding. MT #119 went to give him his medication and he refused them stating he takes them whole. LPN #233 went in and spoke with him and said you've always taken your pills this way. He replied, I have never taken my pills crushed in pudding. LPN #233 left the room and MT #119 returned with his meds whole in a cup. She told me he refused

responded, I don't take my medication that way, I take them whole. The resident explained to the surveyor that one of the medications was extended release and he was told it could not be crushed. The MT replied, Are you refusing to take them?. The resident replied No, I just need them the way I'm supposed to take them. The MT took the medication cup and left the room. She then returned with the medication cup with the crushed medication and said, You need to take them, or we will chart you refused them. The resident requested that the MT provide him with her name, however he reported she refused to provide it and stated, I don't have to give you my name. He asked her again for her name and she responded Puddin Tane and then she said LPN #233 first name. The MT took the medication cup with the crushed medication and left the room again. MT #119 returned to his room with a medication cup with four whole pills in the cup. The resident told the MT he was supposed to have six pills. The MT reported she would ask the nurse and she came back in and said, This is what the nurse said you are going to get. The resident reported he had the medication cup in his right hand when the MT asked for them back if he wasn't going to take them. The resident reported he was going to keep them until he could show the nurse. At that time LPN #233 stormed in and pushed his bedside tray out of the way and attempted to grab the medication cup out of his hand. The resident reported he moved his right arm over his abdomen towards the window to prevent the nurse from grabbing the medication cup from his hand. The LPN held his arm and leaned over him attempting to get the medication cup out of his hand. The resident reported the LPN was squeezing his hand so hard the cup was pressing into his hand and causing pain. He used his other hand (left hand) to grab her arm and was told to let go so he did, and the LPN took the medication cup and left the room. The resident reported the LPN had squeezed his hand so hard it left bruises on two of his fingers where he was holding the medication cups. The resident showed the surveyor there was still a red mark on this thumb and the pointer finger bruise had resolved. The resident reported one of pills that was missing was red/orange in color, but he did not know the name of the medication. At 11:00 A.M. he finally got all his medications. He has spoken to Social Service and the Administrator; however, he feels the Administrator should be protecting the residents and not the staff. He had recently found out from other staff and residents that LPN #233 had been rude to other people. He was considering filing charges against the nurse and was still very upset about the situation and was concerned about other residents residing in the facility due to LPN #233 had physically abused him. He has requested that LPN #233 not provide care to him and was told she was suspended but she was back to work already.

Interview on 02/20/24 at 10:28 A.M., with the Administrator and DON revealed LPN #233 was suspended after the allegation was reported until the following Monday. The resident did not have an order to crush his medication and the LPN should have administered his medication whole and since she had prepared the medication, she should not have had the MT administer the medications she prepared. The LPN had one on one education on abuse and medication administration. The Administrator and DON reported they unsubstantiated the abuse allegation based off staff statements were consistent. The DON reported she determined the bruises were a result of the resident twisting the staff's arm and, on a blood, thinner, not caused by the resident holding the pill cup in his hand. Interview on 02/20/24 at 11:11 A.M., with LPN #233 and DON revealed she was working midnights on the third floor due to there was a call off, but usually works day shift as a unit manager on the first floor.

received his medication crushed at that time, so she thought he was still a crushed med. The LPN confirmed the resident did not have an order to crush meds. She could not recall which meds he was on but remembers crushing five or six meds. The LPN confirmed she had prepared the meds but handed them to the med tech to administer. LPN #233 reported she was standing outside the door preparing the next resident's medications and the med tech came back out of the room and reported the resident didn't take his medication crushed. She went into the room and the resident told her that he took them whole now. She went back out to get all the new meds and gave them to the med tech to administer. She heard the resident say they were not all there, so she wrote all his meds down and went back into the room and read off the medication he was to receive. Resident #61 kept saying they were not the right medication and she reassured him they were correct. He refused to take them until the nurse came in. She explained she had to stay with him until he took them. He placed the cup on the bed beside his leg by his knees. She reached across his knees to get the med cup and he grabbed her right arm and hand and started to twist it. She had a pill cup and glucometer in her other hand so there was no way she could have touched him. She grabbed the pills with her right hand. The LPN denied squeezing the resident's hand. The LPN reported she was provided education on abuse and med administration. She was suspended on the 8th and was off the weekend anyway and returned on Monday.

The resident voiced concerns to the Administrator that he felt the Administrator was more concerned about the food menu the day they spoke instead of the assault. The Administrator confirmed she had spoken to him regarding the alterative menu. The resident reviewed the resident statement that was taken on 02/20/24 at 9:45 A.M. by the surveyor for accuracy. The resident confirmed with the Administrator and surveyor that the statement taken by the surveyor on 02/20/24 at 9:45 A.M. was an accurate timeline of events that occurred on February 8th with LPN #233 and MT #119. Interview via phone on 02/21/24 at 3:12 P.M., with MT #119 revealed she was working the midnight shift and had finished administering her medication and was helping LPN #233 administer medication on her unit. LPN #233 had prepared Resident #61's medications and she took the medication into the resident's room to administering them. She thought his pills looked funny because she had never crushed his pills before when she had administered his medication, but she took them into the resident anyway. The resident reported to her he doesn't take his medication crushed. The MT reported she took the medications back out to LPN #233 and LPN #233 told her to tell the resident that that's all he had. MT reported she took the crushed medication cup back into the resident's room and told him the nurse said that's all he had, and he refused to take them, so she took them back out to LPN #233. LPN #233 then popped out 3-4 pills into a medication cup and gave them to her to administer to the resident. The MT reported Resident #61 usually takes 5-6 meds in the morning, however LPN #233 only
