did happen, immediately suspended NA A (who reported that she reacted to the residents repeatedly
appearing naked at the nurses station and repeatedly staring at her breasts), and had Resident #1
assessed (who did not remember the event and did not have any injuries or ill effects from the event). The
Administrator provided the video for this surveyor who verified that NA A did strike Resident #1 on the left
upper right arm with her open palm and then according to the Administrator appeared to threaten to hit
