lung). Further review revealed he was care planned for chest pain related to angina. His goal was to be pain
free as evidenced by verbalization of comfort with interventions in place to encourage Resident #1 to avoid
activities which increase the risk for chest pain.
Review of Resident #1's Progress Notes on EHR revealed a progress note written by LVN A with an
effective date of [DATE] at 07:52 am that revealed at approximately 4:45 am, this nurse entered Resident
#1's room in response to a CNA questioning why another CNA had come back to work so early. Upon
entering the room, I asked CNA A and she said she had just come in early to help I said thank you and
walked back out of the room. The CNAs in the hall said that wasn't true and that she had a knife. I rushed
back into the room, while CNA A ran out. I saw Resident #1 and he was bleeding profusely from his chest
and the right side of his neck. I yelled for help and found a clean pillowcase and applied it to his neck. I ran
back out Resident 1's door and yelled for help and to stop CNA A, to call 911 and get me more help, clean
towels and to get other nurses. Myself and CNA C continued to apply pressure to Resident 1's wounds. The
largest wound being across his throat on the right side to up around his ear to the right jaw. Resident #1's
other wounds were a slashing type wound to his left forearm and a stabbing type wound to his left chest
area with multiple wounds to his arms or hands. We continued to hold pressure until EMS arrived and
Resident #1 was transported to the hospital.
Record review of the hospital paperwork provider notes dated [DATE] with a hospital admission time of
07:09 am revealed Resident #1 was admitted for multiple stab wounds. A [AGE] year-old gentleman
transferred as a trauma level 1 after sustaining stab wounds to his right neck, left chest and left arm at the
skilled nursing facility. He is alert and awake with significant bleeding from his right neck. Pressure is being
held to slow the hemorrhage. He states that he does take Plavix. All 12 systems negative other than
mentioned above. The Assessment/Plan listed:
Stab wound of neck (S11.91XA): Will proceed emergently to the operating room for a wound exploration
washout and closure.
Multiple stab sounds (T07.XXXA): Left chest wound does not appear to have penetrated the thorax as
chest x-ray and ultrasound do not show any pneumothorax or pericardial effusion.

doing okay. Resident #2 stated the incident did not affect him as he was sleeping. Resident #2 stated he
cannot understand how he slept through everything. Resident #2 stated when he woke up, the room was
full of police and he asked, What did I do? Resident #2 stated he and Resident #1 were like brothers, and
they loved each other. Resident #2 stated the Lord kept him asleep because he would have gotten up and
jumped in and probably would have gotten hurt.
