was having pain or unable to bear weight.The CNA had transferred resident during shift, so I did not think there was a problem. I did not officially conduct skin assessment or ROM evaluation on resident on Sunday.
RN A also added that she worked the following day, Monday 2 PM - 10 PM shift and she was notified before dinner that Resident #1 was unable to transfer or get out of bed.
She did notify the NP following this information and the NP informed her that he was aware and had placed order for STAT x-ray. 08/03/2025 10 PM - 6 AM shift: 08/08/2025 CNA E statement captured, I received report from CNA A.she did not say anything about the resident [Resident #1] having pain or issues with transferring.
When I went to change her on my first rounds, I noticed that she did not seem comfortable due to her facial grimacing. I informed the nurse about the pain. On my second rounds with her [Resident #1] I felt she seemed like she was in more pain, so I moved her more gently and again I informed the nurse [RN B]. 08/03/2025 10 PM - 6 AM shift: 08/08/2025 RN B statement captured, I was the RN on the 10-6 shift on Sunday August 3rd.On my initial assessment I did not note any indicators of pain with Resident #1.
Late in my shift the CNA informed me that the resident looked uncomfortable while being changed. I administered PRN Tylenol for pain. 08/04/2025 6 AM - 2 PM shift: 08/08/2025 CNA I statement captured, I worked as a CNA on Monday the 6a-2p shift with [Resident #1]. I did not get report from the 10p-6a shift.I arrived to the floor so I was unaware of the fall on the previous day.I noticed something was off when I went to get her out of bed that morning and she was unable to bear weight.I did not notice any visual or verbal signs of pain so I thought maybe she was just stiff from the night sleep. I noted that when I was assisting her with breakfast she was not eating well, and food was dropping out of her mouth.
This was not unusual for her, but I did ask the other team members at the table if they felt there was something wrong
