When the nurse arrived in the area, the nurse would perform assessments and provide aid if needed, and document any injuries in the report and in the EHR progress notes. LN H said the nurse would collect written statements by any staff directly involved, notify administration and law enforcement, and fill out an incident report, including the witness statements from staff.

The nurse was expected to call the building administration, the resident's physician, LEO, EMS, and the residents' representatives. If there was any suspicion that any resident struck another resident, the nurse should also collect written witness statements from the staff. If the incident was willful abuse, then a report would be filed with the State Agency (SA).

Administrative Staff A reported Resident R1 was placed on one-on-one observation by Administrative Staff A until 08:00 AM, when Resident R1's wife arrived and assumed one-on-one observation until she left at 06:00 PM. Staff then provided one-on-one observation if Resident R1's wife was not present until Resident R1 was transferred to a BHU. Administrative Staff
A stated she had not reported the incident to the SA as required.The facility's Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Policy and Procedure policy, dated 05/2023, documented that the facility prohibited abuse from any perpetrator that included but was not limited to staff, volunteer, contracted staff, vendor, family member, visitor, or any other resident.This deficient practice was cited at a scope and severity of G (actual harm, isolated) to reflect fear and anxiety because of the noncompliance using the reasonable person concept due to Resident R2's impaired cognition.
