She understood that Resident #2 was scratched with a pencil by Resident #1 and did not leave any marks on his arm. She said that she had not observed any behaviors out of the ordinary with Resident #1, but he had been inappropriate trying to kiss staff. She said that a resident going towards another resident with a pencil, no matter the extent of the injury, was abuse. She said she would have wanted to hear Resident #1's behaviors on staying up all night and hitting the walls. She said he probably should have been on 1:1 monitoring based upon his behaviors. Interview on 08/30/25 at 2:35 pm with the DON reflected she was aware of the incident between Resident #1 and Resident #2 and the pencil. It was her understanding that Resident #2 was at the table and Resident #1 walked by and kind of scratched Resident #2 with a pencil. She said the charge nurse removed the pencil from Resident #1. She said the facility trained her on abuse and neglect. She said that the secured unit was a special unit and the residents in that unit had behaviors but even though they are in that unit, they should be safe. She said Resident #1's act towards Resident #2 was an aggressive act toward another resident. She said the fact that Resident #1's pencil made contact with Resident #2's skin had never been in question. She said she notified the Administrator, the Abuse and Neglect Coordinator, as soon as she was aware of the incident. She agreed the facility policy read that abuse meant the willful infliction of injury and given this definition, the incident was abuse. She said the Psych NP was notified and Resident #1 was placed on 1:1 monitoring. She said there was not an order for 1:1 monitoring. She said when a resident had an altercation with another resident policy was to implement 1:1 monitoring to make sure everyone was protected. She said she did not know exactly how long Resident #1 was on 1:1 monitoring, maybe through the next night or next day. She said that Resident #1 should have been continued on 1:1 monitoring until given the behaviors that were reflected in his progress notes and on the behavioral chart. She said that she knew Resident #1 had aggressive behaviors and they were working on a medication change. She said Resident #1 had not had any aggressive behaviors toward her. She said Resident #1 should have been on 1:1 monitoring until his medication changes reflected his behavior was stabilized.

She said staff told her that Resident #1 and Resident #2 were outside alone, and Resident #2 was cursing at Resident #1, but was not aware that Resident #1 hit Resident #2 with anything even though it was in Resident #1's progress notes.

She heard about it from her DON. She did not know about the incident with Resident #1 and Resident #2 and the metal object that occurred on 08/15/25. She said they did place Resident #1 on 1:1 monitoring after the 08/11/25 incident but there were no 1:1 monitoring logs, and it was not recorded in the eMAR resident progress notes. She said she did not see it as abuse herself personally because Resident #1 was going through medication adjustment, and he was reacting to a lot of things, and he was not himself. She said she did not see any intent in his actions towards Resident #2 because she did not think Resident #1 knew what he was doing and did not see his action as willful but now looking back on the criteria it was abuse.
