when out of bed in the morning, and bed alarm. All Resident R1's fall interventions should be in place and followed to help prevent further falls. Resident R1 is not on isolation and does not have to stay in his room, and should be allowed to participate in activities, as it is part of Resident R1's care plan as a fall intervention. However, if resident is
on isolation and activity staff would go into their room to engage the resident with one-to-one activities. The bed alarm purpose to alert nursing staff that the resident has gotten off the pad, to prevent a fall. If the bed alarm is not turned on, the resident could get up and staff would not be alerted. Nurses should check the bed and chair alarms at the start of their shifts. All residents should have their call light and frequently used items in reach. Resident R1 requires close monitoring and supervision. Resident R1 needs one-to- one supervision, we are having a meeting with Resident R1's family to discuss options.Policy documented in part:Fall Occurrence dated 6/30/25.It is the policy of the facility to ensure that residents are assessed for risk for falls, that interventions are put in place, and interventions are re-evaluated and revised as necessary. If a resident had fallen, the resident is automatically considered a high fall risk.The nurse may immediately start interventions to address falls in the unit, even prior to the fall's coordinator investigation. Ultimately, the fall coordinator may change the interventions provided by the nurse if the fall coordinator investigation identifies a more appropriate intervention for the individual fall. The fall coordinator will add the intervention to the resident's care plan.The fall interventions will be re-evaluated and] revised as necessary.
