Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one resident (Resident 1) was treated with dignity
and respect when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 put her hand towards her face. This had the potential
to result in a decline in her physical, emotional and psychosocial well being.
Findings:
On 3/10/23 at 3:40 pm, the California Department of Public Health received a report (via phone) that
Resident 1 alleged CNA 1 called her disrespectful and put her hand up to her face. A follow up written
report was faxed on 3/10/23 at 5:06 pm.
A review of Resident 1's record indicated she was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses that included a
stroke, morbid (severe) obesity, hemiplegia (inability to move one side of the body), diabetes, and anxiety
disorder.
During an interview on 3/16/23 at 11:20 am, Resident 1 stated CNA 1 was across the hall helping another
resident and she waved at her to get her attention because she needed to go to the bathroom. She said
when CNA 1 came in the room she told me not to disrespect her that way then she waved her hand in my
face. She said CNA 1 did not touch her face but her hand was right up in her face and she told CNA 1 to
stop and started yelling for the nurse.
Further review of the record included an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT-group of healthcare disciplines that
meet to discuss resident care needs) note, dated 3/14/23, which indicated on 3/10/23, Resident 1 reported
a verbal altercation with CNA 1. The night shift nurse had over heard the altercation and removed CNA 1
from the room. Per policy, CNA 1 would receive appropriate disciplinary action and re-training.
During an interview on 4/27/23 at 12:45 pm, CNA 1 confirmed she wrote a statement on 3/9/23 at 11:48
pm. She said she asked Resident 1 to try not to wave and holler. CNA 1 said she stuck her hand out and
said stop and did not realize her hand was in Resident 1's face who then swatted her hand away.
During an interview on 3/20/23 at 1:15 pm, Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 said she heard Resident 1 yelling so she
went into the resident's room. Resident 1 said CNA 1 pulled on her and put her hand toward her face. LN 1
said she asked CNA 1 to leave the room and had another CNA take over that room.
The investigative report report provided by the adminstrator concluded there was not abuse but CNA 1 was
unprofessional.
