This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 having multiple falls and sustaining a laceration to the left eyelid, skin tears to the bridge of the nose and left forearm, and a nasal (relating to the nose) fracture confirmed at the GACH on 2/7/2020. Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on 2/8/2020 and 20 hours after readmission, Resident 1 had a sixth fall with minor injuries after not being supervised 1:1 as per the physician's order and the resident's plan of care.
