her up without using lift. States she heard a popping noise when she was lifted up and that she felt pain.
Review of the statement obtained from Resident 1's mother, who was in the room during the incident,

the chair up to the bed and said ok ready here we go, scooped [Resident 1] up and was laying her down on

Employee 1 transferred Resident 1 without the use of a mechanical lift (Hoyer) and second person assist as
ordered by the physician and included in Resident 1's comprehensive plan of care. Instead, Employee 1
lifted Resident 1 out of her wheelchair with his arms and placed Resident 1 in bed, at which time Resident
1's left leg and left foot were bent behind the Resident. As a result, Resident 1 suffered a fracture to the
lower left leg, specifically a fracture of the fibula and tibula of the left leg.

provided information and documentation of an immediate action plan put into place after the transfer that
