assessment was done on 3/20/25 and showed he was not at risk. He was last seen by his nurse at 2:15

Before rounding, [Resident R1] was doing his normal pacing back and forth. I finished my round and
everything was normal. I never heard the alarm because I was in a room with the door closed. I went on a
15-minute break. I was walking with a co-worker around the building. I spotted two people in the middle of
the road tussling. I noticed it was [Resident R1] because of his clothes. I ran over to help, the resident was
fighting the man. I asked him to let go of the resident and I would take over. I then tried talking to the
resident to calm him down and let the man go. He wouldn't so I moved the man out the way and allowed the
resident to grab hold of me. He was screaming and hitting me so I walked behind him up the hill while he
bent my fingers back. I got him to the sidewalk near the front door where supervisor and aides were
running. They took him from there.
