During an interview on 03/17/25 at 2:25 PM, CNA1 stated, The resident put on his call light, as he does several times during the night and was whining. I was not assigned to the resident, his CNA was busy taking care of another resident. I went in to see if I could help him. I was turning him over to loosen his brief and he swung at me and hit me. I tried blocking his hand with my hands and he stopped for a minute and I continued changing him and left the room. CNA1 did not mention restraining R1 by holding his hands pressed against his upper chest.
Review on 03/17/25 at 2:35 PM, of the statement written by CNA1 revealed, Resident put on his call light, I, myself went in and asked what was wrong and he said he needed a brief change. So, I told him the CNA working with him would be with him and he said ok. I left the room to finish my rounds, and the resident started to whine.
His CNA for the night was falling behind so I went in his room and told him I was going to change him and he swung at me so I restrained him until he cooled down. He let me change him and I left the room. He threatened me and disrespected me physically and vocally.
