Ensure CNA 3 followed the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled "Answering the Call Light" which indicated to call another staff for help by using the call light for assistance.

A review of facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled "Falls Management" dated 5/26/2021, indicated residents will be assessed for fall risk as part of the nursing assessment process. Those determined to be at risk will receive appropriate interventions to reduce risk and minimize injury.
