F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.

An interview with Resident 1 on July 11, 2024, at 2:19 PM revealed the resident was being transported in the transport van and stated, I fell out of the wheelchair.
