(Resident R67) Findings include: Review of facility policy 'Resident Rights,' revised October 13, 2012, indicates that the resident has the right to exercise his/her rights as a resident of this facility and as a citizen of the United States. Exercising rights means that residents have autonomy and choice, to live their everyday lives and receive care. Review of Resident R67's clinical record, on Friday, June 27, at 10:00am, revealed the diagnoses of adjustment disorder with depressed mood, anxiety disorder, abnormalities of gait and mobility, muscle weakness, abnormal posture, and subsequent encounter of falls.

Resident was noted with bruising to bilateral arms the following day when (she/he) reported the incident to (her/his) family and nursing staff.
